Answer:

The header file

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'header' of a packet contains two important information about the data being sent over a network, number indicating the ordering of all the packets (This ensures that the packets are re-ordered corrected upon arrival at the destination). and information about the total number of packets that the data has been split into, this helps at the destination to know if all packets has arrived, or delayed or lost
