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 else can I help you with?
What technology takes packets and breaks them out into smaller packets and send them over the network?
packet switching
What is the difference between pack and packets?
pack-singular, larger size implied, packets-smaller, more than one
How does IP layer keep the packets from getting misplaced or collected out of orders?
The IP adds a header of control information to each segment recieved from the TCP in order to form the IP datagram or IP packet. The data can be fragmented to smaller packets if necessary.
Breaking bulk at the wholesale level is called?
Allocating: Breaking a homogeneous supply into smaller and smaller lots ("breaking bulk")
What is the process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces is called?
The process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces is called dissolution. This is the process through which a solute makes a solution by breaking the solvent.
What does chunking mean in to kill a mockingbird?
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," chunking refers to breaking down information into smaller, manageable parts. This technique is used when Jem and Scout discuss the concept of breaking tasks into smaller parts to make them easier to handle, such as cake baking.
How the packets are created?
Packets are created when data is prepared for transmission over a network. This process involves segmenting the data into smaller, manageable units, each of which is encapsulated with a header containing important information such as source and destination addresses. The packets are then transmitted over the network, where they may take different paths to reach the destination, where they are reassembled into the original data. This method enhances efficiency and reliability in data communication.
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.
Can you keep breaking an ice cube into smaller and smaller pieces?
It is a yes and no question because you can keep breaking it down but eventually it will melt.
What is the process of dividing a data stream into smaller pieces before transmission?
The process of dividing a data stream into smaller pieces before transmission is known as segmentation. This involves breaking the data into manageable packets or segments, each typically containing a portion of the data along with headers that include metadata such as sequence numbers and checksums for error detection. This segmentation allows for more efficient transmission over networks, as smaller packets can be routed independently and can help in managing network congestion. Once received, the segments are reassembled into the original data stream at the destination.
The breaking apart of foods into smaller and smaller units is called?
The breaking apart of foods into smaller and smaller units is called digestion. This process allows the nutrients in the food to be absorbed and used by the body for energy and other functions.
What are the advantages to dividing networks into subnets?
The advantages are:Security - packets must be routed between subnetsPerformance - packets will stay within their own subnet for the most partTroubleshooting - it is easier to find a problem in a smaller network than a large one.
