Frames encapsulate packets. When a packet arrives at the data link layer, the entire thing, header, data, and all, is used as the data field of a frame. The entire packet is put in an envelope (the frame) so to speak (assuming it fits).

What else can I help you with?
Do frame encapsulate packet or packete encapsulate frames?
Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".
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".

Does a nertwork switch perform encapsulation?
A network switch does not perform encapsulation in the same way that routers do. Instead, switches operate primarily at Layer 2 (Data Link layer) of the OSI model, forwarding Ethernet frames based on MAC addresses. While switches do handle frame headers and can modify them (such as adding VLAN tags), they do not encapsulate data in the sense of changing the protocol or adding headers for different protocols. Their primary function is to switch frames rather than encapsulate packets.
What is the key responsibility of the switching function within a router?
to encapsulate packets in the correct data link frame type
What is the role of the data link layer protocols in data transmission?
The role is to transfer frames to packets
Are frames in the network layer?
No. Frames are used on the data-link (layer 2) layer. Packets are used at the Network (layer 3) layer.
What is the Packet switching?
packet switching is nothing but the process of converting frames of data into small packets by using some of the algorithms...............
What is a primary purpose of encapsulating packets into frames?
FACILITATE THE ENTRY AND EXIT OF DATA IN MEDIA
What is a standard technique in computer networks in which messages are broken into individual pieces?
The process is called "encapsulation". The message is broken up into frames which are then further divided into packets. The receiving computer reassembles the packets to reconstitute the original message.
What is the correct encapsulation order when data is passed from Layer 1 up to Layer 4 of the OSI model?
bits, frames, packets, segments
How data communication and digital communication differ?
In digital communication we talk about signal while in data communication we talk about data and the could be in the form of packets or frames.
