What is the function of data encapsulation in transmitting information across the network?
If you researched the organization thoroughly, you already know that they use all these three types of networks within the company. The more you know going into the interview, the better you will perform. This also allows you to answer questions relevant to their own processes, and your answer should demonstrate that you are a good fit because you understand the technical aspects as they relate to the organization.
"The terms Internet, Intranet, and Extranet are used to define how users access applications and other resources using a network. While they all use similar TCP/IP technology, the access to internal and external users differs in each type of network. On the internet, anyone using the web from any location has access to the resources. An intranet limits access to resources to authorized users, usually in the same organization. On an extranet, authorized external users are allowed access to use the network applications of the organization. Most organizations use each of these types of networks."

The function of data encapsulation in transmitting information across the network is to ensure appropriate information is layered onto data as it goes from the application layer down the TCP/IP or OSI stack models and onto medium to its final destination so that it gets from point A to point B correctly, reliably and effectively.
