Discuss the reasons for adopting that specific value


1)Although not explicity stated, the Internet Protocol(IP) specification,RFC 791, defines the minimum packet size a network technology must support to allow IP to run over it.

b) Discuss the reasons for adopting that specific value.


2)A transport layer message consisting of 3600 bits of data and 144 bits of header is sent to an internet layer, which appends another 152 bits of header.This is then transmitted through two networks,each of which uses a 16-bit packet header.The destination network has a maximum packet size of 1240 bits.How many bits,including headers,are delivered to the network-layer protocol at the destination?
