Question
What is the purpose of the Fragment Offset field? A. To indicate the relative position of a fragment in an original packet. B. To help the receiver assemble packets. C. To specify the TTL of a packet. D. To indicate the amount of routers a packet can pass through.
Solution
The purpose of the Fragment Offset field is both A and B. It is used to indicate the relative position of a fragment in the original packet and to help the receiver assemble the packet correctly. It is not used to specify the TTL (Time to Live) of a packet or to indicate the amount of routers a packet can pass through.
