How do data packets find their way to the right destination?

• Data packets are sent randomly without any specific address.

• Data packets are delivered based on the size of the packet.

• Data packets use physical addresses only, ignoring IP addresses.

• Data packets find their way to the right destination through IP addresses and routing protocols.
