The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by theinventors: “A computer network is a collection of interconnected computing devices that exchange dataand share resources. In a packet-based network, such as the Internet, computing devices communicatedata by dividing the data into small blocks called packets, which are individually routed across the networkfrom a source device to a destination device. The destination device extracts the data from the packetsand assembles the data into its original form.”
