Hello, everyone. I apologize in advance if i do something wrong in this sub, as this is my first time. I was hoping if i could get some input on this question i was given below. I'm a bit confused on how to break down data packets. The question is stated below as;
"The original IP Datagram is given below. This datagram arrives at a network where the MTU is 1200 bytes. Fill in the blanks in as many IP fragments that will be created to transmit the original data across this network"
i am then given the original datagram here https://imgur.com/a/5TOJtUJ
followed by 6 more empty datagram diagrams. and a list of "notes";
- The FLAGS field contains bits.
- Fragments are sent with the maximum amount of data possible.
- Ignore the CHECKSUM and DATA fields.
- The fragments may be fragmented further, if necessary
Does this mean that i subtract 1200 from 4020 for every iteration? What about the other factors? do they change too as i fill in the rest of the datagrams? What i did is subtract the amount, and decrease TTT by 1 for every datagram i made, everything else stayed the same more or less, but i have no way of checking if i'm correct.
I don't mind doing most of the problem solving myself, since i want to learn how to do it on my own eventually. But i'm having a really difficult time doing the first iteration, so even just a nudge in the correct direction, or some readings would help immensely. The textbook i have is either not that helpful or sometimes too difficult to understand at first.
