Packet Transmission: Breaking Data into Fragments
Large data transmissions are split into numbered packets

+15 XP per step · +75 XP for completing the quest
A Mobile Suit cannot transmit a full battle plan in one signal burst — it would be too large and easy to intercept. Instead, data is broken into small numbered packets, each sent separately and reassembled at the destination. Every ping you run sends exactly one test packet.
Primary Objective
Understand how data is broken into packets and how latency is measured.
