Is reformatting breaking information into smaller parts called packets?

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 terms defines dividing data streams into smaller pieces suitable for transmisission?

Segmentation


What defines dividing data streams into smaller pieces suitable for transmission?

Segmentation is process of dividing data streams into smaller pieces suitable for transmission. This done so it can fit into a transmission control protocol or TCP segment so it does not violate the rules concerning the maximum data amount in a segment.


What is the process of breaking large messages or data into smaller easier-to-manage pieces called?

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.


What is the sum of numbers in a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data divided by the number of pieces of data?

That's the mean ('average') of the numbers in the dataset,divided by the number of pieces of data.


The sum of a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data?

The sum of a set of data divided by the number of pieces of data is the average or mean.


Are Data and Details same?

No. "data" (technicly plural, but more often used as singular) refers simply to pieces of information. "Detail" is more specific: a smaller, generally more significant bit of information.

Define data models and list different types of data models?

A data model is a collection of concepts that can be used to describe the structure of a database and provides the necessary means to achieve this abstraction whereas structure of a database means the data types,relationships and constraints that should hold on the data. Data model are divided into three different groups they are 1)object based logical model 2)record based logical models 3)physical models Types: Entity-Relationship (E-R) Data Model Object-Oriented Data Model Physical Data Model functional data model
