routers
use use the information in the packet header to direct the packet to its destination
TCP
enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data-guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets are delivered in the same order in which they were sent
IP address

port
in a computer network context, a port is an address used by clients and servers that is associated with a specific service -client/server software with the assistance of telecommunications software use port number to determine which service the data packet is requesting
port numbers
-can be used to track activity on the internet-can be used by hackers to gain access to computer systems -help servers organize the data packets that they manage, sending packets to correct software for service ex- server receives web page request on port 80 and dns requests on port 53client application includes correct port number in the outgoing packet headers
computer trick for hackers
