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
In the application domain of computer games, speed of execution is of utmost importance, which means that the choice between clean and fast usually is decided in favor of the latter. In this paper we discuss how encapsulation is embedded in the Casanova 2 game development language, and show ...
In the encapsulation process, a source computer sends a packet from Layer 7, the application layer, to Layer 1, the physical layer. Data encapsulation doesn't begin until a packet reaches Layer 4, the transport layer. After that, the remaining layers add corresponding information to the packe...
Part of the book series: Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science ((UTCS)) 509 Accesses Abstract An important key to software productivity is software reuse. With respect to data structures, an important key to software reuse is the encapsulation of classes of data structures in ways that encour...
This is CS50x , Harvard University's introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming for majors and non-majors alike, with or without prior programming experience. An entry-level course taught by David J. Malan, CS50x teaches students how to think alg...
This process happens on the computer that is receiving data. Data encapsulation in the OSI model Just like with the TCP/IP layers, each OSI layer asks for services from the next lower layer. The lower layer encapsulates the higher layer’s data between a header (Data Link protocols also ...
Through encapsulation, a class hides the implementation details of the programmed elements, while restricting direct access to those elements. It also provides a public interface for interacting with the class through its instantiated objects. In this sense, a class acts as a template for creating ...
occurs when data is received on the destination computer during an incoming transmission. As the data moves up from the lower layer to the upper layer ofTCP/IP protocol stack(incoming transmission), each layer unpacks the corresponding header and uses the information contained in the header to ...
De-encapsulation takes place on the receiving computer. The de-encapsulation process is the opposite of the encapsulation process. In this process, the headers and trailers that are attached by the encapsulation process are removed. The Physical layer picks encoded signals from the media and convert...
Encapsulation vs Tunneling Encapsulation and tunneling are two important concepts found in Computer Networking. Tunneling is a method used to transfer a payload (a frame or a packet) of one protocol using an internetwork infrastructure of another protocol. Because the transmitted payload belongs to a...
