Someone correct me if I'm wrong:
All the "fragments" have the TCP/UDP/IP headers, or else they can't be
routed to their destination.
"Fragmentation" is just a way of breaking up the data payload into smaller
packets, but it puts individual headers on each packet.
MTU is the total size of each packet, including the header.

Subject: fragmentation question [7:60643]


Hi All,

Please shed a light on this as I am confused.

Fragmentation for UDP/TCP:
 * Only the first fragment contains the UDP or TCP header, not the
sequencial fragments?

Fragementation for IP packets
 * every fragmented packet will contains ip header?

MTU 1500 bytes, doesn't it mean the data payload can not exceed 1500
bytes or the whole packet size(payload+header) can not exceed 1500
bytes?

Thanks in advance

Paul
