When an IP packet is fragmented into fragments, a single fragment loss will cause the whole packet to be discarded. Consider an IP packet that contains 4800 bytes of data (from the upper layer) that is to be delivered to a directly connected destination. Consider two types of link layers with different MTUs. Type A technology uses 5 bytes of header and has an MTU of 53 bytes (you may think of it as the ATM technology). On the other hand, type B technology uses 18 bytes of header and has an MTU of 1518 bytes (say it is Ethernet). Assume the frame loss rate of type A is 0.001 while that of type B is 0.01. Compare the packet loss rate under these two types of link layer technology
