1.5-4 What is "encapsulation"? Which of the definitions below describe what is meant by the term "encapsulation"?Group of answer choicesDetermining the name of the destination host, translating that name to an IP address and then placing that value in a packet header field.Taking data from the layer above, adding header fields appropriate for this layer, and then placing the data in the payload field of the “packet” for that layer.Receiving a “packet” from the layer below, extracting the payload field, and after some internal actions possibly delivering that payload to an upper layer protocol.Computing the sum of all of the bytes within a packet and placing that value in the packet header field.Starting a transport layer timer for a transmitted segment, and then if an ACK segment isn’t received before the timeout, placing that segment in a retransmission queue.

Solution

The term "encapsulation" refers to the process of taking data from the layer above, adding header fields appropriate for this layer, and then placing the data in the payload field of the “packet” for that layer. This is a fundamental concept in networking where data is packaged into a new form to be transmitted over the network. So, the correct definition from the given choices is: "Taking data from the layer above, adding header fields appropriate for this layer, and then placing the data in the payload field of the “packet” for that layer."
