Congestion Control in Networking

Transparent fragmentation = The fragments are not reassembled until the final destination. Nontransparent fragmentation = The fragments are reassembled in the receiver router.

Packet number = To determine the order of the fragments. Fragment offset = To determine the position of the data. End-of-packet flag = To indicate the end of the packet. Packet size = To determine the size of the packet.

Transparent fragmentation = The overhead can be higher than with nontransparent fragmentation. Nontransparent fragmentation = The packet is needed to be repeatedly fragmented and reassembled.

<p>Maximum packet size of 8 payload bytes plus header = The size of the packet after passing through a network. Size 5 gateway = The size of the packet after passing through a gateway. Elementary data size of 1 byte = The size of the original data bytes. 10 data bytes = The size of the original packet.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Figure 5-42(a) = Transparent fragmentation. Figure 5-42(b) = Nontransparent fragmentation. Figure 5-43(a) = The original packet. Figure 5-43(c) = The fragments after passing through a size 5 gateway.</p> Signup and view all the answers
