-
Protocols: Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast, TCP/IP Protocol Suite, OSI Layers
-
Protocol Data Unit (PDU):
-
Encapsulation: This process involves wrapping data with protocol information at each layer of the OSI or TCP/IP model before it is transmitted over the network. Each layer adds its own header (and sometimes a trailer) to the data, which contains relevant information for the proper routing and handling of that data as it traverses the network. For example, when sending a message, the application layer might add information such as the destination address and other control signals, while the transport layer may specify the port number used.
-
De-encapsulation: Upon reaching its destination, the data must go through the reverse process, known as de-encapsulation. In this phase, each layer of the model removes its respective header to retrieve the original data. This process begins at the lowest layer of the receiving device, where the physical layer checks the signaling. As the data moves up through each layer, headers are stripped away until the original data is accessible at the application layer for the end-user or application to act upon it. This entire mechanism ensures that data is delivered accurately and securely across the network.
