They are then passed onto the Transportation Layer which transports them to the destination through several intermidiate nodes like routers and switches, using the *Transmission Control Protocol* (TCP) and *Internet Protocol*(IP). TCP deals with the actual routing to an application while IP helps in logical addressing of devices (IP address) to keep a track of which node to send the packet next to. Once the packets reach the destination, an acknowledgement is sent back. If for any reason a packet is dropped, it can be requisitioned again from the source node.
