Can someone please (without asking me to Google) explain simply and

Is it, basically, the mechanism that my router uses to forward TCP or

My son knew, from before the age of seven, that you don't ask someone
what the definition of a word is while a dictionary is sitting right
there on your table. What the hell is wrong with you?
