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.

What happens when the packets are too big?

When packets are too big for a network to handle, they may be fragmented into smaller packets for transmission. If fragmentation is not possible, the packets may be dropped, leading to data loss and requiring retransmission. This can result in increased latency and reduced overall network performance. Additionally, oversized packets can cause congestion and inefficiencies in network routing and processing.
