9.2.3.2 Dynamically Adjusting Payload Size Frames used by dierent network tech-

nologies may have dierent size limits for payload sections. at is, there is a chance

that the payload size used by the sender is much larger than the payload size of the

frame used by another network segment. In this case, during the data transmis-

sion process, the original payload needs to be sliced into multiple smaller IP pay-

loads shown in Figure 9.4. Slicing a payload into multiple smaller payloads is called

fragmentation.

In Figure 9.4, the original IP packet is sliced into three smaller IP packets to com-

ply with the restr ...
