What term is used to describe the small unit of data that is transmitted across a packet-switched network?
Frame
Packet
Byte
Chunk
In networking, larger data sets are broken into smaller, manageable pieces called packets before being sent. Each packet contains addressing and sequencing information so the destination device can reassemble the original data correctly. A byte is simply eight bits of digital information and is not a transport unit. A frame is the data-link-layer encapsulation that carries a packet over a single network segment, but the generic end-to-end transmission unit in a packet-switched network is called a packet. "Chunk" is an informal term with no standardized meaning in network communications.
