During the data transmission there are chances that the data bits in the frame might get corrupted. This will require the sender to re-transmit the frame and hence it will increase the re-transmission overhead. By considering the scenarios given below, you have to choose whether the packets should be encapsulated in a single frame or multiple frames in order to minimize the re-transmission overhead. Justify your answer with one valid reason for both the scenarios given below.

Scenario A: Suppose you are using a network which is very prone to errors.

Scenario B: Suppose you are using a network with high reliability and accuracy.

1. Based on Scenario A, multiple frames will minimize re-transmission overhead and should be preferred in the encapsulation of packets.

2. Based on Scenario B, the encapsulation of packets should be in a single frame because of the high level of network reliability and accuracy.

Justification:

There will not be further need to re-transmit the packets in a highly reliable and accurate network environment, unlike in an environment that is very prone to errors.  The reliable and accurate network environment makes a single frame economically better.

Encapsulation involves the process of wrapping code and data together within a class so that data is protected and access to code is restricted.

With encapsulation, each layer:

Thus, in a reliable and accurate network environment, single frames should be used to enhance transmission and minimize re-transmission overhead.  This is unlike in an environment that is very prone to errors, where multiple frames should rather be used to minimize re-transmission overhead.
