What else can I help you with?
The maximum size of an IP datagram including the header is?
The datagram length field in an IP header is 16 bits in length. Therefore, the maximum datagram size an IP datagram can support is 2^16 - 1 = 65,535 bytes
The minimum length of IP datagram is what in byte?
The minimum length of an IP datagram is 20 bytes. This includes the minimum size of the header, which is 20 bytes when no options are included. The total length of an IP datagram can be greater if additional options or data are included, but the base header size remains 20 bytes.
The datagram length field in an IPv4 datagram contains which numeric value?
Total number of bytes in the datagram, including the header.The length of an IP datagram itself is technically measured in bytes. The length field represents the size of both the header and the data portions of the datagram.
What is IP datagram 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.

The length of an IP datagram header can vary depending on the options used What is the smallest possible IP header size?
20 bytes, without options
In the context of tcpip a packet is also known as?
IP Datagram
What are the primary subdivision of an IP datagram?
data, and header
Which portion of a received datagram is decoded and used by the internetwork layer of the tcpip model?
Only the Network Layer (Layer 3) portion of the datagram is used by the Network Layer (Layer 3) portion of the TCP/IP Model. The network portion of the datagram includes IP Addressing information, and things such as TTL (Time to Live), and Datagram Priority markings.
What is contained in the header of each segment or datagram?
Source and destination IP address
Which ICMP message contain part of the ip datagram?
All ICMP Error Messages
What is the purpose of the Protocol field in an IP segment?
it indicates which layer 4 protocol is carried in a datagram
