A datagram or packet needs to be self-contained without reliance on earlier exchanges because there is no connection of fixed duration between the two communicating points as there is, for example, in most voice telephone conversations.

Explain the difference between a PDU and a datagram?

A PDU (Protocol Data Unit) is defined by which layer it is in. In the physical layer and network layer, it is synonymous with the packet, in the data link layer, it is the frame. In the transport layer, it is a datagram for UDP. A datagram holds one or more PDU's, as it is the basic unit of transferring information via packet switching.


Explain IP datagram and Fragmentation and MTU?

IP datagram can be used to describe a portion of IP data. Each IP datagram has set of fields arranged in an order. The order is specific which helps to decode and read the stream easily. IP datagram has fields like Version, header length, Type of service, Total length, checksum, flag, protocol, Time to live, Identification, source and destination ip address, padding, options and payload. MTU:- Maximum Transmission Unit is the size of the largest packet that a communication protocol can pass. The size can be fixed by some standard or decided at the time of connection Fragmentation is a process of breaking the IP packets into smaller pieces. Fragmentation is needed when the datagram is larger than the MTU. Each fragment becomes a datagram in itself and transmitted independently from source. When received by destination they are reassembled.

Explain about protocol data unitidentify PDU in each layer of OSI?

A Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is a unit of data specified in a protocol of a given layer of the OSI model. Each layer has its own PDU: at the Application layer, it's called a message; at the Transport layer, it's a segment (or datagram in UDP); at the Network layer, it's a packet; at the Data Link layer, it's a frame; and at the Physical layer, it's a bit or symbol. These PDUs help in managing and encapsulating data as it traverses through the layers of the OSI model.
