IP fragmentation is a process where a large IP datagram is broken into smaller fragments for transmission over a network. The fragments are then reassembled after reaching their destination. This process is usually done when an IP datagram must be sent over a network with a MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) smaller than the size of the datagram. Fragmentation allows the packet to be divided into chunks that will fit within the smaller MTU, and thus be sent successfully.
