Header

Information added by the protocol in front of the payload in the packet for its own use (addresses, packet type, sequence number, CRC...). Each protocol adds a different header, so in a typical TCP/IP packet as transmitted, we have a MAC header, an IP header and a TCP header, followed by the payload.
