A packet will not go around networks endlessly because it has a field in the header called the TTL field. This is a number that limits the number of hops or networks a packet will be forwarded to.

Why it is necessary to avoid infinite loop in program design?
It is not necessary to avoid infinite loops. You are perhaps confusing infinite loops with endless loops which are to be avoided at all costs. An endless loop is an infinite loop that has no reachable exit condition; the loop will iterate until we forcibly terminate the program. We use the the term infinite loop in the sense that it is impossible to measure or calculate when the exit point will be hit. the following are all examples of infinite loops in their simplest form: for (;;) { // ... } while (true) { // ... } do while (true) { // ... } endless: // ... goto endless; The conditional expressions in each of these loops can never be false thus we cannot easily determine when these loops will exit. We typically use infinite loops when there are many exit conditions to consider and it is either impractical or inefficient to evaluate all of those conditions via the controlling expression alone. We take it as read the exit conditions are contained within the body of the loop. If the body of the loop has no reachable exit condition then it becomes an endless loop. It is the programmer's responsibility to ensure that all infinite loops can exit at some point.
How are endless loops avoided?
By adding in a check that can be fulfilled within the loop. Example: while x < 10 x ++; get_cookie(1); endwhile
Who was the Greek philosopher believed that the body was a source of endless trouble that prevented the mind and soul from attaining truth?
The Greek philosopher who believed that the body was a source of endless trouble that prevented the mind and soul from attaining truth was Plato. In his philosophy, he viewed the physical world as a lesser reality compared to the world of Forms, which could only be accessed through reason and contemplation, free from the distractions of the body.
