packetizing
Dividing into chunks
Packetizing is breaking data into smaller units called packets for transmission across a network.
Rather than sending information as one continuous stream, packetizing divides it into manageable chunks that can travel independently and reassemble at their destination: The software handles packetizing the video stream for delivery.
The technique underlies how the internet moves data.
