Why is it necessary to separate data into frames?

Assuming you are referring to a video stream, a frame is one image, consisting of different amounts of data depending on the image quality. Video transmission is often measured in frames per second. Knowing the parameters of image quality you can then compute how much data is being sent over a network connection. For an example, 30 fps renders a live stream of images...anything less will appear choppy.

In hardware & networks, why we sent data as frame or pakages? (not all together) Which is the advantage?

A plethora of reasons. One is that all packets on a network are the same size, by convention. If you had long streams of data flowing over a network, each a different length, the overhead to process them in every switch, cable, etc. on each connection it made on its way through the internet, the entire system would eventually collapse. It's just a way to route information in the form of data most efficiently.

Thank's a lot.
