Hosts P and Q are connected through router R. The MTU of link P–R is 1500 bytes and of R–Q is 820 bytes. A TCP segment of 1400 bytes is sent from P to Q with IP identification 0x1234; the IP header is 20 bytes and DF is not set. Which statements are NOT true?
A. Two fragments are created at R, and the IP datagram carrying the second fragment is 620 bytes.
B. If the second fragment is lost, R resends the fragment with IP identification 0x1234.
C. If the second fragment is lost, P is required to resend the entire TCP segment.
D. The TCP destination port can be determined by analysing the second fragment only.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D. B and D Only
Explanation
The fragments carry 800 + 600 data bytes, so the second datagram is 620 bytes (A true). TCP at P resends the whole segment (C true). Routers don't retransmit (B false), and the TCP header with the ports is only in the first fragment (D false).More Data Communication and Computer Networks questions
