Packet fragmentation attack

The more you change things on your computer the more fragmentation of your computer memory you are making. here are some computer operating systems that will automatically reduce the amount of fragmentation you will have. Most computers will still have some fragmentation of files on the hard disk. You have, as part of the operating system of your computer the ability to 'tidy up', or remove fragmentation mostly running the operating system defrag program. This will mean your computer will put everything you use most at the easiest to access end of your memory, this means that the computer works as fast as it can

Fragmentation in computer science can refer to physical fragmentation (when files and data are scattered across a disk) or memory fragmentation (when memory becomes divided into small unusable chunks). Fragmentation in ecosystems can occur when habitat patches become isolated, affecting the movement and survival of species. Fragmentation in society can be seen through the segregation of communities or the division of resources based on socioeconomic status.

Disk fragmentation is the process of consolidating data on a hard disk or storage device in order for that device to run better. This process can be done manually on any computer system.
