When an IP datagram travels from one host to another, it can pass through different physical networks. Each physical network has a maximum frame size. This is called the maximum transmission unit (MTU). It limits the length of a datagram that can be placed in one physical frame. IP implements a process to fragment datagrams exceeding the MTU. The process creates a set of datagrams within the maximum size. The receiving host reassembles the original datagram. IP requires that each link support a minimum MTU of 68 octets. This is the sum of the maximum IP header length (60 octets) and the minimum possible length of data in a non-final fragment (8 octets). If any network provides a lower value than this, fragmentation and reassembly must be implemented in the network interface layer. This must be transparent to IP. IP implementations are not required to handle unfragmented datagrams larger than 576 bytes. In practice, most implementations will accommodate larger values.

What is the function of a socket processor?

"Socket" is what you call the frame the processor is seated on. There's "socket A processors" for example, maybe that is what you mean. They perform the same task as any other processor, they just happen to fit on a normed socket called "socket A". A socket has no processor of its own, it just connects the CPU to the motherboard.
