[PNGNOG] Fragmented IP Protocol

11 Jan

IP fragmentation is an Internet Protocol (IP) process that breaks packets into smaller pieces (fragments), so that the resulting pieces can pass through a link with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) than the original packet size. The fragments are reassembled by the receiving host. "Source "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_fragmentation" With this can anyone clarify if routers who are unable to handle fragmentation drop these packets and thus the packets do not reach their destination? What can be done to address these and allow the routers to transmit the packets without dropping them?
