Question

types fragmentation

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

In the context of computer networking, there are two types of fragmentation:

1. Network Layer Fragmentation: This type of fragmentation occurs when a packet is too large to be transmitted over a network in a single piece. The packet is then divided into smaller fragments, each of which can be transmitted separately. The receiving device reassembles the fragments into the original packet.

2. Transport Layer Fragmentation: This type of fragmentation occurs when data is too large to fit into a single segment of a transport layer protocol, such as TCP. The data is then divided into smaller segments, each of which can be transmitted separately. The receiving device reassembles the segments into the original data.
