the network layer --> check your question.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is totally not the right answer, how about you actually read the book for the course.
It is the data link layer that does encapsulation.
I agree - its the Data Link Layer which encapsulates the Network layer...NOT the Network Layer.
Network Layer
Network Layer
network session layer Session Layer (Layer 5) The session layer permits two parties to hold ongoing communications called a session across a network.
Layer 2 or the 'Data' layer of the OSI model encapsulates either 'bits' from the physical layer (1)- moving up the TCP stack or 'Packets' from the Network layer (3)- going down the the stack. 7 - Application Layer DATA 6 - Presentation Layer DATA 5 - Session Layer DATA 4 - Transport Layer SEGMENT 3 - Network Layer PACKET 2 - Data Layer (Incorporating LLC and MAC) FRAME 1 - Physical Layer BIT A good nmemonic for remembering the data encapsulation in the OSI model is 'Don't Some Peolple Fry Bacon' - Data, Segments, Packets, Bits.

TCP operates at Layer 4 which is Transport of the OSI Model!
Layer 3 i.e, network layer of the OSI model is used to IP addressing.
network layer
The network layer is the layer that is responsible for routing packets on the network. This is the layer in which Internet protocol operates. In the seven layer OSI model, the network layer is the third layer from the bottom.
network layer
In the OSI model, each layer has a specific Protocol Data Unit (PDU). At the application layer, the PDU is called a message; at the transport layer, it is a segment (for TCP) or a datagram (for UDP); at the network layer, it is a packet; at the data link layer, it is a frame; and at the physical layer, the PDU is a bit. Each PDU encapsulates the relevant data and control information required for communication at that particular layer, facilitating the flow of data through the network.
