Problem:
i)A transport layer message consisting of 2864 bytes (including the
transport layer header) is transmitted through an IP-based network
with MTU of 1052 bytes. Describe the fragmentation process that should
take place. Identify all the fragments and the values of the following
parameters (fields) for each fragment: Fragment Offset, MF flag, Total
fragment Length, Length of Data.
ii)Assume that the above fragments then traverse a SLIP link with an
MTU of 546. Describe the fragmentation process that should take place.
Identify all the fragments and the values of the following parameters
(fields) for each fragment: Fragment Offset, MF flag, Total fragment
Length, Length of Data. (Note: the MTU as defined here includes the IP
header and the data carried within the IP datagram, but excludes the
Link Layer header and trailer) |
