Question

The addition of control information to a packet as it moves through the layers is called encapsulation. Provide a brief overview of the process as requested pieces of data (packets) undergoes as it is sent over the Internet. What are the sizes of the packets?

Answer 1

Data encapsulation is set o process is used or process for data transport in the network traffic. And as per typical packet some contains around 1,000 or 1,500 bytes.

Explanation:

In the network, there are 7 layers. Data will be processed are sent through these 7  layers. So to process and do validation  checking  necessary process is handled in each layer

For example, check valid  TCPIP addresses on both ends such as source and designation.

Encapsulation on the network depends on the following things.  Session layers, presentation layer, and application layers and converts the message to valid data and finally sent to the transport  layer and data is converted to network layers.
