What is TCP/IP?
You pack your house in boxes and put your new address on them.
The moving company picks them up, makes a list of the boxes, and ships them across country
along the most efficient route - this may mean putting your dishes and your bedroom
furniture on different trucks.
Your belongings arrive at your new address. You consult your list to make sure that
everything you shipped has arrived (in good shape), then you unpack your boxes and
"reassemble" your house.
