Which of the following terms is used specifically to identify the entity created when encapsulating data inside data-link layer headers and trailers?
- Data
- Chunk
- Segment
- Frame
- Packet
Explanation: By convention, the term frame refers to the part of a network message that includes the data-link header and trailer, with encapsulated data. The term packet omits the data-link header and trailer, leaving the network layer header with its encapsulated data. The term segment omits the network layer header, leaving the transport layer header and its encapsulated data.
