No, but segmentation is what will break a data message into smaller pieces (called segments) which eventually are turned into packets.
Reassembly occurs on the receiving side by taking the segments and putting the pieces back together (like a jigsaw puzzle).
Segmentation doesn't change the content of the data; it merely breaks it into smaller, more manageable pieces for the network.
Reformatting would actually change the content of the data in some way, and would have no effect on making the data smaller for data transport.
packet switching
pack-singular, larger size implied, packets-smaller, more than one
The IP adds a header of control information to each segment recieved from the TCP in order to form the IP datagram or IP packet. The data can be fragmented to smaller packets if necessary.
Allocating: Breaking a homogeneous supply into smaller and smaller lots ("breaking bulk")
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," chunking refers to breaking down information into smaller, manageable parts. This technique is used when Jem and Scout discuss the concept of breaking tasks into smaller parts to make them easier to handle, such as cake baking.
Yes, and no. You could keep breaking, and breaking an ice cube, but eventually it would melt.
The process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces is called dissolution. This is the process through which a solute makes a solution by breaking the solvent.
It is a yes and no question because you can keep breaking it down but eventually it will melt.
It's the metabolism.
