Answer 1

Encapsulation is the entirety of a packet at one Layer becoming the payload section at another

Step-by-step explanation:

Encapsulation in simple term can be termed as a capsule, where it wraps a content. Here, the content from one layer is wrapped and passed on to the next layer. So the content of one layer is combined with the next layer. So this process of combining is called Encapsulation.

Encapsulation can also be termed as binding of several data into one. In network, there will be multiple layers, so each layer has a data which has to be passed on to the next one.

Answer 2

It is Encapsulation
This is inclusion of one data structure within another structure so as that another structure is hidden for time being.An example a TCP/IP formatted data packet can be encapsulated within an ATM frame(another kind of transmitted data unit) within the context of transmitting and receiving the ATM frame,the encapsulated packet is simply a stream of bits between the ATM data that describes the transfer.
