packet switching
Network Layer
Latency is the time a frame or a packet takes to travel from the source to the destination.
End-to-end delay is the time it takes a packet to travel across the network from source to destination. Delay jitter is the fluctuation of end-to-end delay from packet to the next packet.
traceroute 10.215.34.124
tracert (traceroute on unix-like systems) will do this. use the command tracert /? for more information on options for this command, such as the maximum number of "hops".
A hop
End-to-end delay refers to the total time taken for a packet to travel from the source to the destination. Packet jitter, on the other hand, is the variation in delay between packets caused by network congestion, routing changes, or varying traffic patterns. In essence, end-to-end delay is the total time taken, while packet jitter measures the variability in that delay.
here in data link the actual physical mean of coneection will takes place between source and destination hosts......once packet from network layer enter into data link layer the trailer is gonna add to packet also the MAC(media access control) address of destination host will be determined............once source host get the information of MAC.......its gonna add to packet along with packet then it will be called by name frame....switch will work in this layer and the protocol used are ARP and RARP........
The Ping command sends a small packet of data to a destination IP address and waits for a response. It measures the time it takes for a packet to travel from the source to the destination. This command is typically used to check if a network device is online and responding to requests. On the other hand, the Trace Route command sends a series of packets to a destination IP address and tracks the route that each packet takes. It identifies each router or hop that a packet goes through on its way to the destination. This command can be used to diagnose network latency issues or identify where data is being lost. While the Ping command only provides information on the time it takes for a packet to reach the destination, the Trace Route command provides more detailed information on the network path and any delays or losses that occur along the way. In summary, both the Ping and Trace Route commands can be useful in troubleshooting network issues, but they serve different purposes. The Ping command is a simple tool for testing connectivity to a destination device, while the Trace Route command provides more detailed information on the network path and any issues that may be occurring.
The router only needs to know the next-hop address; in other words, it sends the data to the next router; this next router then takes its own decision.Each router maintains a routing table, with information about where to send IP packets. The information is stored on a per-network basis. When the router receives an IP packet, it consults the routing table, to see what is the next-hop address, and through which interface it must send the packet.The router only needs to know the next-hop address; in other words, it sends the data to the next router; this next router then takes its own decision.Each router maintains a routing table, with information about where to send IP packets.

Entire chapters in the Cisco Networking Academy are dedicated to this topic. But basically, a router looks at the IP packet, and compares it to its routing table. The routing table says, for example, "Every packet for the destination network 10.0.5.0 /24 should be sent out of port Ethernet 2/1, next-hop address is 10.0.7.2". "/24" in this case means that the first 24 bits must match. The routing table itself is maintained manually (static routes), or updated through a routing protocol from neighboring routers.
