To avoid the missing of data and also if we sent it as a whole it won't be easy to send and receive
Basically Its a transmission system that sends packets of data across a link and then waits until it has received signals back from the recipient to show successful transmission of all data packets in that window (set size of a number of data packets). Any packets that don't receive a successful transmission flag are resent before the window progresses to the next set of data packets.
Point-to-point
If you mean TCP or UDP data packets, then no, they make up every data transmission on the net.

Yes, internet data is broken up into variable-length packets, but it often uses fixed-length segments at the transport layer, such as TCP, which typically segments data into fixed-size packets of around 1,500 bytes (maximum transmission unit). However, the actual payload size within those packets can vary based on the data being transmitted. This approach allows for efficient use of the network and accommodates varying types of content and network conditions.
The loss of data packets during transmission.
Packet switching breaks the original data into smaller segments per packet before transmission. This is done in the layer 4 transport layer of the OSI model.
The average transmission time for data packets in a network is the time it takes for a packet of data to travel from its source to its destination. This time can vary depending on factors such as network congestion, packet size, and the speed of the network connection.

The process of dividing a data stream into smaller pieces before transmission is known as segmentation. This involves breaking the data into manageable packets or segments, each typically containing a portion of the data along with headers that include metadata such as sequence numbers and checksums for error detection. This segmentation allows for more efficient transmission over networks, as smaller packets can be routed independently and can help in managing network congestion. Once received, the segments are reassembled into the original data stream at the destination.
Data transmitted over the Internet is broken into Packets when transmitted over the Internet or other network.
