Sender “A” sends original message from Point “A” that has the Sender Address. The original message is divided into 3 parts. It passes through the Internet network and reaches Point B that has the Destination Address. The steps followed are mentioned below.

Step 1: Original message broken into numbered packets and sent to Server 1. Server 1 sends one part of the original message to Server 2 and two parts of the original message to Server 3. Server 3 in turn sends one part of the original message to Server 4 and one more to Server 5.

Step 2: Each packet can travel via a different route. Message from Server 1 passes via Server 2, Server 4, and Server 5.

Step 3: Original message reassembled from packets. Server 6 assembles the parts of the original message received from Server 2, Server 4, and Server 5 before sending it to the destination address.
