Packet segmentation: Measurement, Modern implementation & Overview

Packet segmentation is the division of data into smaller protocol data units before transmission over a computer network. In the Internet protocol suite, the term is most commonly used for sender-side packetization at the transport layer, such as dividing a TCP byte stream into segments or fragmenting a large SCTP user message into multiple DATA chunks…
