Encapsulation 5. In computer networking, encapsulation is a method
of designing modular communication protocols in which logically
separate functions in the network are abstracted from their
underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within
higher level objects. 6. De-Capsulation 7. Decapsulation is the
inverse of the encapsulation process. Encapsulation is the process
of wrapping the data while the decapsulation process is a process
of opening packs. The process was reversed from the encapsulation
process. Encapsulation The process starts from the uppermost layer
(Application Layer) to the lowest layer (Physical layer) while the
decapsulation process starts from the lowest layer (Physical Layer)
to the uppermost layer (Application Layer)
