Re: Networking - What is fragmentation of a packet ?
Hi
Every packet-based network has an MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size. The MTU is the size of the largest packet which that network can transmit. Packets larger than the allowable MTU must be divided into multiple smaller packets, or fragments, to enable them to traverse the network.

Re: Networking - What is fragmentation of a packet ?
Breaking a packet into smaller units of fixed size is called fragmentation of packet.
