Tunneling, but you should really read your textbook before asking routing questions online... ;)
During the encapsulation process, the destination and source IP addresses are added to the packet header. These addresses help routers and networking devices determine where to route the packet to reach its destination.
When a packet travels through a router, encapsulation occurs as the packet is wrapped in a new header that contains routing information specific to the next hop. During this process, the original packet's header is preserved but may be modified to reflect the new destination. Conversely, during de-encapsulation, the router removes the outer header to process the packet and determines the next hop based on the information in the original header. This process ensures that data is properly routed across different network segments.
Data, Segment, packet, frame, bit in that order
Frame, packet, segment, and lastly data shows the correct order of PDU de-encapsulation when a device receives messages from a network.
a packet is another word for folder
# a packet is another name for ceal or plastic wrapping holding a substance
It's called DNA.
Packet
The packet of electromagnetic radiation is the photon.
The router encapsulates the packet in the appropriate data link frame type for the outgoing data link. The router determines the exit interface after data encapsulation.
It ensures that the Packet gets to its destination or it ensures packet delievry . If a packet fails to get its destination, it handles the process of notifying the sender.
Encapsulation in layered communications refers to the process of wrapping data with protocol information as it moves down the layers of the OSI or TCP/IP model. Each layer adds its own header (and sometimes trailer) to the data from the layer above, creating a "packet" at the transport layer, a "frame" at the data link layer, and so on. This method allows each layer to operate independently while ensuring that the necessary information is available for proper data transmission and reception. Ultimately, encapsulation facilitates modular communication by allowing different networking protocols to work together seamlessly.
