Let’s concentrate on the above packet fields (in Fig. 3).
8. What information in the IP header indicates that this is not the first datagram fragment?
9. Are the more fragments? How can you tell?
10. If Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are the 1st and 2nd fragments of a message, then what fields change in the IP header between the first and second fragment?
