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


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


If the IP header is 20 bytes how big is the TCP segment encapsulated by this header?

The size of a TCP segment encapsulated by an IP header does not have a fixed size and can vary based on the data being transmitted. However, the maximum size of a TCP segment is typically constrained by the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the network, which is commonly around 1500 bytes for Ethernet. Given that the IP header is 20 bytes, the maximum TCP segment size would be approximately 1480 bytes if there are no additional headers or options. In practice, the exact size would depend on the TCP header size and any options included.


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.


How many bits does the DSCP use in the IP header?

How long is an IP header if there are no options?

An IP header is 20 bytes long when there are no options included. This standard length consists of the fixed fields required for the header, including source and destination addresses, version, and length information. If options are present, the header length can increase, but without options, it remains at the standard size.

In the IP Protocol What is the header overhead?

Internet Protocol, or IP, puts a header on every packet that it sounds out. This header is the overhead. All protocols, such as TCP or UDP, will put a header on the packet. The IP header contains information such as source IP address and destination IP address and is used by routers to figure out where to send the packet. ex. you send your friend a 1kb file, but it takes up 1.5kb of bandwidth due to overhead


What is the information contained in the Ip header?

The source and destination IP addresses


What data can an ip packet contain?

An IP packet can contain data about the format of the internet header and the abstract parameters such as the header checksum. The IP packets also provide an internet time stamp.


What can be indentified by examining the network layer header?

IP Source and IP Destination n


What does the protocol field in the IP header identify?

The protocol field, in the IP header, identifies what kind of data is in the IP packet - the upper-layer protocol. For example, if the code is 6, that means that the data is a TCP segment.
