The TCP/IP model and Encapsulation
The Internet Protocol suite, also known as TCP/IP, contains the most extensively used network protocols and was created by the United States Department of Defence. The TCP/IP model was designed to work on a wide range of computer types. While the TCP/IP and OSI models share design concepts, but they are differ. The key distinction is that the TCP/IP model combines Layers 5–7 of the OSI model into a single application layer. It is also widely used to integrate the physical and data link layers, which are also known as the network interface or network access layer. The encapsulation and decapsulation operations of TCP/IP follow the same layer progression as in the OSI model.
How Data Encapsulation and De-encapsulation Works?
Data encapsulation and de-encapsulation are fundamental concepts in computer networking and communication protocols. These processes are essential for transferring data across networks efficiently and securely.
