Consider sending a 10000-byte datagram into a link that has an MTU of 4468 bytes. Suppose the original datagram is stamped with the identification number 218. How many fragments are generated? What are the values in the various fields in the IP datagram (s) generated related to fragmentation?

    Number of fragments is 3

    Explanation:

    The maximum size of data field in each fragment = 4468 - 20 (IP Header)

    = 4448 bytes

    Hence, the number of required fragment = (10000 - 20) / 4448

    = 3

    Fragment 1

    Id = 218

    offset = 0

    total length = 4468 bytes

    flag = 1

    Fragment 2

    Id = 218

    offset = 556

    total length = 4468 bytes

    flag = 1

    Fragment 3

    Id = 218

    offset = 1112

    total length = 1144 bytes

    flag = 0
