IP Datagram

IP Datagram, also known as IP packet, is a unit of information passed across the IP-based network such as the Internet. It contains source and destination addresses along with data and a number of fields that define such things as the length of the datagram, the header checksum, and flags to indicate whether the datagram can be (or was) fragmented.
