A IP packet has arrived in which the fragmentation offset value is 100, the value of HLEN is 5 and the value of total length field is 200. What is the number of the last byte ?
A IP packet has arrived in which the fragmentation offset value is 100, the value of HLEN is 5 and the value of total length field is 200. What is the number of the last byte ? Correct Answer 979
Answer: Option 3
Data:
Fragmentation offset: 100
HLEN: 5
total length field: 200
Calculation:
Header Length: HLEN × 4 ≡ 5 × 4 ≡ 20 Bytes
Fragmentation offset: 100
Hence Bytes ahead of this fragment: 100 × 8 = 800 Bytes
total length = 200 ;
Hence data part will be 200 - 20 = 180 bytes
Hence the last byte number will be 800 + 179 = 979
Option 3 is the correct answer.
