What happen to the packet when it is received by data link layer?

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........

Does the data link layer finalize and frame a packet?
yes,data link layer finalize and frame a packet as frame is a series of bits that units a data.........
What does the computer term bits packet frame segment data mean and in what layer they belong?
Telegrams are sent in data packets. Bits packet frame segment data mean data packet and they belongs to Data link layer. Bye.
What is a network layer data gram?
A packet.A packet.A packet.A packet.
What is a Minecraft packet?
A packet is a piece of data sent and received by servers and computers.
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 data in each layer called?
7. Application Layer - Data 6. Presentation Layer - Data 5. Session Layer - Data 4. Transport Layer - Segments 3. Network - Packet 2. Data Link - Frame 1. Physical - Bit
What Switching breaks data into packets before they are transported?
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.
When creating a packet how does the network layer determine the size of the packet?
The Network layer (Layer 3, typically IP) will receive a segment from the Transport layer (Layer 4, typically TCP or UDP), and will add its own header to it to create a packet. The size of the packet will thus always be the size of the segment plus the Network layer header, the same as when the next layer down (the Data Link layer, layer 2, typically Ethernet) encapsulates the packet into a frame for transmission.
Why is data uploaded as you download?
Data is transmitted in packets. TCP/IP has to respond to each packet. TCP allows for the sending side to know that the packet was received. If there is a malfunction, it can retransmit the packet.
