Fragment Offset is a field in the IPHeader that specifies the position in the original datagram where a particular fragment belongs. It is measured in 8 byte blocks, with a maximum of 8 bytes per block. The fragmentation process can be likened to cutting a sheet of paper into many smaller pieces so these pieces can be reassembled later on. The Fragment Offset tells the recipient how the pieces fit together.
