Question

What term is defined as a private data placed in a packet with a header containing routing information that allows the data to travel across a network, such as the Internet?

Answer 1

Data encapsulation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we send data to someone else across another network, this data travels down a stack of layers of the TCP/IP model. Each layer of the TCP/IP layer encapsulates data or hides the data by adding headers and sometimes trailers. This packaging is what is known as data encapsulation. The data starts at the application layer and trickles down beneath. As it moves down the layers, it is encoded or compressed to a standard format and sometimes encrypted for security purposes.
