Theoretically Data Link Layer puts packet into frame by adding header and tail to the packet but how is it possible when you take into consideration CCSDS packet definition:
"
A packet is a block of data with length that can vary between successive packets, ranging from 7 to 65,542 bytes, including the packet header.
Packetized data are transmitted via frames, which are fixed-length data blocks. The size of a frame, including frame header and control information, can range up to 2048 bytes.
"
According to this, frame is smaller than packet, so how can you put packet into frame??

What does the computer term bits packet frame segment data mean and in what layer they belong?
Telegrams are sent in data packets. Bits packet frame segment data mean data packet and they belongs to Data link layer. Bye.
The correct order of data encapsulation when a device sends information?
Data, Segment, packet, frame, bit in that order
What is the unit of information called when a network adapter adds the source and destination MAC address to the segment of data before it is transmitted on the network?
Packet
When creating a packet how does the network layer determine the size of the packet?
The Network layer (Layer 3, typically IP) will receive a segment from the Transport layer (Layer 4, typically TCP or UDP), and will add its own header to it to create a packet. The size of the packet will thus always be the size of the segment plus the Network layer header, the same as when the next layer down (the Data Link layer, layer 2, typically Ethernet) encapsulates the packet into a frame for transmission.
What goes over media -packet or frame-which is more correct?
Packet
Does the data link layer finalize and frame a packet?
yes,data link layer finalize and frame a packet as frame is a series of bits that units a data.........
What is the fuction of the FCS field in an Ethernet frame?
The FCS (Frame Check Sequence) Component of an ethernet frame permits the end recipient to check for, and correct, errors in the packet. It is a checksum that is checked against the packet for data integrity, to put it simply. When the number does not check out properly, the frame is thrown out and a replacement packet is requested.
Do frame encapsulate packet or do packet encapsulate frame?
Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".
What is an updated and digital version of X25 that also relies on packet switching?
Frame relay.
What is a PDU?
In networking, PDU means "protocol data unit", and it is the generic name of the "packets" of data used at different levels of the network. Using the numbering of the OSI layers: At layer 2, the PDUs are called "frame". Example: An Ethernet frame, a frame-relay frame. At layer 3, the PDUs are called "packets". Example: An IP packet. At layer 4, the PDUs are called "segments". Example: A TCP segment, a UDP segment.
Which layer of OSI model divide frame into segment?
data link layer should divide frame into segment by ravi from kurnool
Do frame encapsulate packet or packet encapsulate frame?
Frames are encapsulating packets. The data link layer makes framing and provide this service to the layer above layer "the network layer".
