Objective
To walk through the process of data encapsulation.
Equipment
“packets”,”frames”,”computers”,”printers”,”servers”,”routers”,”switches”
Notes and Observations
Each person role-played as either a switch, router, printer, server, or computer. We collaboratively put together a map of our simulated network and split it up into 3 networks connected together. We learned how to create our different addresses for our devices on our network, then sent messages across networks through the switches and routers using packets and frames. It was confusing at first, but after a little while we got the hand of it.

Conclusions
This simulation helped me to understand packets, frames, switches, routers, addressing and networking a lot better.
