Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In a data communications networks, Packet segmentation is the process of dividing a data packet into smaller units for transmission over the network. Segmentation may be required in many scenarios: Protocols that perform Packet segmentation at the source usually include a mechanism at the destination to reverse the process and reassemble the original packet from individual segments. This process may include Automatic repeat-request (ARQ) mechanisms to detect missing segments and to request the source to re-transmit specific segments.
