Which of the definitions below describe what is meant by the term "encapsulation"? [ ] Starting a transport layer timer for a transmitted segment, and then if an ACK segment isn't received before the timeout, placing that segment in a retransmission queue. [ ] Taking data from the layer above, adding header fields appropriate for this layer, and then placing the data in the payload field of the "packet" for that layer. [ ] Receiving a "packet" from the layer below, extracting the payload field, and after some internal actions possibly delivering that payload to an upper layer protocol. [ ] Computing the sum of all of the bytes within a packet and placing that value in the packet header field. [ ] Determining the name of the destination host, translating that name to an IP address and then placing that value in a packet header field.
