Prompt

In 3-4 sentences, explain packet fragmentation. State any key formula.

Generation

Packet fragmentation occurs when a datagram is too large to fit within the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of a network link, requiring it to be divided into smaller fragments for transmission. Each fragment is sent as a separate packet with its own header, and the receiving host reassembles them into the original datagram. The key relationship is: **Number of fragments = ⌈(Total datagram size) / (MTU - IP header size)⌉**, where the ceiling function accounts for partial fragments. Fragmentation can decrease network efficiency and is generally avoided in modern networks through Path MTU Discovery.
