In an IP packet, the value of HLEN is 516 and the value of the total length field is 002816.What is the efficiency of this datagram? Correct Answer 50%

Total number of bytes in the header = 5 x 4 = 20 bytes. Total length = 0028_16 = 40 bytes. Data carried by the packet = (40 – 20) = 20 bytes. Efficiency = payload length / total length = 20/40= 50%.
