  - The encapsulation method is Data, Segment, Packet, Frame, Bit.
  
  - When the data arrives at the transport layer, the protocols at the layer start the process of data encapsulation.
  
  - When a protocol on the sending host adds data to the packet header, the process is called data encapsulation.
  
  - The data is broken into smaller pieces and then the TCP header is added, at this point, the data at the transport layer is called a Segment .
  At the network layer, the data which includes the transport header and the upper information is called a Packet.
  
  - The data which includes the network layer header, transport layer header and upper layer information is called a Frame.
  
  - A Bit is the smallest unit of data transfer on a computer network. It represents the two binary values that is '0' and '1' .
