Yam (route)

A yam is a type of plant that grows underground and has a long, brown roots. In some parts of the world, people use yams as a food source because they are very tasty and nutritious.

However, when people talk about "yam (route)," they are often referring to something different. This term is used in computer networking to describe how information travels from one computer to another.

Imagine you want to send an email to your friend who lives across the country. Your computer needs to figure out the best way to get that message to your friend's computer. It does this by using a "yam (route)" or a specific path that the information will take.

Think of it like giving directions to someone who is driving a car. You might tell them to turn right at the first stop sign, then go straight for two blocks, then turn left at the big tree. Just like that, your computer needs to follow a specific route to get your message to your friend's computer.

There are many different "yam (routes)" that your computer could use to send information. Some routes might be faster or more direct than others, depending on how far away your friend's computer is and how busy the internet is at that moment.

So, the term "yam (route)" might sound complicated, but it's really just a way for computers to find the best path to send information to each other.
