Encapsulation
Encapsulation is the mechanism by which data moves across protocol layers during communication. As data descends through the layers on a transmitting device, each layer prepends or wraps it with its own header; upon arrival at the receiving device, data ascends through the layers and each header is stripped away in turn.

Encapsulation
In a layered network architecture, each layer executes a dedicated task and relies on the layer directly ___ it.
Based on the principles of layered network architecture, explain why the engineer can update this layer on its own, and state what dependency relationship governs this layer's operation.
