Consider sending a 4000-byte datagram that has arrived at a router R1 that needs to be sent over a link that has an MTU size of 1500 bytes to R2. Then it has to traverse a link with an MTU of 1000 bytes. Let the identification number of the original datagram be 555. How many fragments are generated? What are the parameters associated with these fragments?

An IP datagram 5,400 bytes long with no options arrives at a router, which determines that the next destination is an Ethernet network through which the datagram must travel. Answer the following questions, showing your calculations and reasoning. a) Assume that the router decides to fragment the packet into 4 fragments. Determine a correct size for each fragment and identify the starting byte and ending byte of each fragment (2.5 marks). b) Calculate the fragmentation offset for each fragment (1.5 marks). c) The total number of bytes from all 4 fragments leaving the router will be greater than the initial datagram size that arrived. Explain by how much, and the reason for this. (1 mark).

An IPv4 datagram (identification #450) with 1600 bytes of application data encounters a router which has a 420-byte MTU. Assume the minimum IP and TCP header sizes, i.e., the IP header is 20 bytes and the TCP header is 20 bytes. 1) How many fragments are generated? A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6 E. none of these 2) What is the identification number on the last fragment? A. 451 B. 452 C. 453 D. 454 E. none of these 3) How many bytes of application data are carried in the second fragment? A. 360 B. 380 C. 400 D. 420 E. none of these
A packet of 6,000 Bytes arrives at a router and must be forwarded to a link with an MTU of 1500 bytes. b. What are the flags and offset values for each fragment, assuming the DF flag was not set, and the IP datagram header is 20 bytes? Show your answer.
