Information that travels across the Internet is not sent all at once. Rather, it is broken down into small blocks of data called packets. This is done to limit data loss, improve speed, and provide efficient network usage. There could possibly be an option for me to send my message to all available IP addresses if I wanted to send a message to everyone on my network.
We can obtain much information from looking at a router log. We can view messages sent, who sent the message, who received the message, and at what time the message was sent. This alters my understanding of anonymity/security on the internet because it demonstrates to me that nobody is truly anonymous on the internet since all traffic can be tracked and monitored as evidenced by the router log in the net sim.
very good summary
