here in data link the actual physical mean of coneection will takes place between source and destination hosts......once packet from network layer enter into data link layer the trailer is gonna add to packet also the MAC(media access control) address of destination host will be determined............once source host get the information of MAC.......its gonna add to packet along with packet then it will be called by name frame....switch will work in this layer and the protocol used are ARP and RARP........

What are the differences between segment packet and frame?

Theoretically Data Link Layer puts packet into frame by adding header and tail to the packet but how is it possible when you take into consideration CCSDS packet definition:"A packet is a block of data with length that can vary between successive packets, ranging from 7 to 65,542 bytes, including the packet header.Packetized data are transmitted via frames, which are fixed-length data blocks. The size of a frame, including frame header and control information, can range up to 2048 bytes."According to this, frame is smaller than packet, so how can you put packet into frame??


At what layer of the OSI does data become a packet?

Different textbooks may give you different answers to this question. In several I've seen, the "packet" is complete in the data link layer (layer 2) and is known as a 'frame' in the physical layer (layer 1). Others may indicate a packet is the result of the physical layer (layer 1). In other descriptions the terms packet and frame are interchanged in the layer 1 and 2 of the OSI model.

Do frame encapsulate packet or do packet encapsulate frame?

Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".


What is the name of a network layer packet?

A network layer packet is commonly referred to as a "packet" or specifically an "IP packet" when discussing Internet Protocol (IP). At this layer, data is encapsulated into packets for routing across different networks. The network layer is responsible for addressing and forwarding these packets to their destination.

Packet switching breaks the original data into smaller segments per packet before transmission. This is done in the layer 4 transport layer of the OSI model.
