Encapsulation, Decapsulation
✅ Encapsulation
- attach new information in the
Application Layer - before passing onto next layers in TCP/IP
new information:
header & trailer
Why add header and trailer?
make transmission more smoother
✅ Decapsulation
- removal of these additional data
- only extract existing data
- happens at
Application Layer, when data arrived
