Fragmentation

Fragmentation in computer networks involves dividing large data packets into smaller fragments for transmission. This process is essential when packet size exceeds the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of a network. It ensures compatibility across networks with varying size limits.

Fragmentation

Fragmentation in computer networks refers to the process of breaking a large data packet into
smaller pieces (fragments) so that it can be transmitted across networks with different size limits.
This is necessary when the size of a packet exceeds the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU),
which is the largest size a network can handle in a single packet.
