    Encapsulation is the process of taking an original packet with a header and data and placing it inside a new packet as the payload. The new packet will have its own header and the original packet as the data. Decapsulation is the reverse process of extracting the original packet from the new packet. Encapsulation is commonly used to tunnel one network protocol inside another, such as IPv6 tunneled inside IPv4. It allows packets to travel across networks that don't support the protocol in the inner packet.

    Encapsulation is the mechanism of

    taking a packet consisting of


    packet header and data and
    putting it into the data part of a
    new packet. The reverse operation,
    takin•g a packet out of the data part
    of another packet, is called
    Decapsulation.
