How might a source quenched sender recover from the resulting reduced transmission rate?
Describe how and where IP datagram fragments are reassembled. Be sure to explain how fragments from multiple datagrams are sorted out and how the order of fragments is resolved for each set of fragments. In your explanation, identify fields in the IP header that allow the defragmentation process to be completed successfully.
Explanation / Answer
An IP datagram can be fragmented, which is to say the datagram can be split into several smaller packets, or fragments, when the network allows only smaller chunks of data to travel through the network. The several fragments that are the parts of an original datagram are sent separately through the network and have to be reassembled at their destination, reconstructing the original datagram.
The fragmentation information that may be carried by the IPv4 Options field is handled in IPv6 as
