But the questions is asking no of fragments if datagram has to go through. I am confused with the interpretation of the question - It is not asking if it will be fragmented or not but in case if it has to go through how many fragments will be there? 0 votes 0 votes Sheshang commented Jan 19, 2017 reply Follow Share so answer will be 0. which is not given in option. so we choose D. none of the above. got it? :-) 1 votes 1 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
