Chapter 8 - Internet protocol. Upon completion you will be able to: Understand the format and fields of a datagram, understand the need for fragmentation and the fields involved, understand the options available in an IP datagram, be able to perform a checksum calculation, understand the components and interactions of an IP package. | Chapter 8 Upon completion you will be able to: Internet Protocol Understand the format and fields of a datagram Understand the need for fragmentation and the fields involved Understand the options available in an IP datagram Be able to perform a checksum calculation Understand the components and interactions of an IP package Objectives TCP/IP Protocol Suite Figure Position of IP in TCP/IP protocol suite TCP/IP Protocol Suite DATAGRAM A packet in the IP layer is called a datagram, a variable-length packet consisting of two parts: header and data. The header is 20 to 60 bytes in length and contains information essential to routing and delivery.

Why? Solution There is an error in this packet. The 4 left-most bits (0100) show the version, which is correct. The next 4 bits (0010) show the header length; which means (2 × 4 = 8), which is wrong. The minimum number of bytes in the header must be 20. The packet has been corrupted in transmission. TCP/IP Protocol Suite In an IP packet, the value of HLEN is 1000 in binary. How many bytes of options are being carried by this packet? Example 2 Solution The HLEN value is 8, which .
