Modulation encodes information in a transmitted signal while demodulation extracts information from the signal. Encapsulation adds information to a packet as it travels to its destination, while decapsulation removes this information so the destination can read the original data. Multiplexing combines multiple analog or digital signals into one signal over a shared medium, while demultiplexing separates previously multiplexed signals. The document discusses protocol layering principles and lists TCP/IP layers involved in various communication devices.
