Verification

Quick intro breaking down your home network, how your computer is assigned an IP address from your home router/modem and do a really basic ELI5 on how your house has an address like your computer has an address.

Also break down how this data goes from your computer to your modem to a hub to another hub until it finally reaches the server that you’re trying to contact

Compare that to mailing something to someone and how that letter may go through different post offices before it reaches it’s final destination.
