Encapsulation Decapsulation
- It occurs at source host computer - It occurs at destination host computer
- Process of wrapping the data - Process is a process opening packs
- Starts from the uppermost layer (Application Layer) to the lowest layer - Starts from the lowest layer (Physical Layer) to the uppermost layer
Encapsulation:
• Each layer adds a header in front of the data from the previous layer, Which contains control information related to the protocol being used at that layer.
- In case of OSI model: this header and the data being sent from one layer to the next lower layer is called a Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
Decapsulation:
• This process of Examining and Removing the header at the destination.
