→IP Packet
Line 13:
* Total length field = 16 bytes
* Therefore Max Packet length = 2<sup>16</sup>-1= 65535
* Fragment offset is required to use 13 bits, it takes away 3 bits, so it can only index every 8th (2^3) byte, so the indices were for 8-byte chunks. THUS the 8 * Fragment Offset to calculate the actual byte-offset of each fragment.
