Generation

# Packet Fragmentation Packet fragmentation occurs when a data packet is too large to pass through a network segment, so it must be broken into smaller pieces that fit within the network's Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). Each fragment is sent independently across the network and contains information that allows the receiving device to reassemble them in the correct order. This process adds overhead and can reduce network efficiency, which is why modern protocols like TCP often use Path MTU Discovery to avoid fragmentation by determining the smallest MTU along the entire route beforehand. If any fragment is lost in transit, the entire original packet typically must be retransmitted.
