A part broken off; a small, detached portion; an imperfect part; as, a fragment of an ancient writing.
A piece of a packet. When a router is forwarding an IP packet to a network that has a maximum packet size smaller than the packet size, it is forced to break up that packet into multiple fragments. These fragments will be reassembled by the IP layer at the destination host. See also: Maximum Transmission Unit. [Source: RFC1392
These are packets less than 64 octets long, and with either CRC (Cyclic Redundant Check) or alignment error(s).
A fragment of DNA is a piece of DNA, usually a shorter piece than you started out with. For example, if you have a circular plasmid of DNA and you cut it in two places, you will have two fragments of DNA.
The process of identifying an IP or ISO CLNP datagram into smaller pieces for transmission across a network that cannot handle the original datagram size.
In optimized code, a set of contiguous instructions in the object code that all derive from the same statement in the source code. See location mapping.
In FDDI, pieces of a frame left on the ring; caused by a station stripping a frame from the ring.
Ethernet packets smaller than 576 bits.
a piece broken off or cut off of something else; "a fragment of rock"
a broken piece of a brittle artifact
an incomplete piece; "fragments of a play"
break or cause to break into pieces; "The plate fragmented"
a logically contiguous piece of the element not necessarily distinguished as a subelement (i
an executable piece of code which may have its own static data (including global variables and function pointers
an incomplete construction which may or may not have a subject and a verb
a part which is treated as separate from exclusive of relation to the whole when its very nature as part is properly understood rather to be Inclusive of relation to the whole
a piece of disk on which a particular database is assigned space
a piece of source code which can be separately compiled, and associated with a slot
a small piece of markup that is contained within a document
a use case that is incomplete
In networking, a packet whose size exceeds the bandwidth of the network is broken into smaller pieces called fragments.
One of the small pieces into which a larger entity has been broken.
A piece of a file. When a file is written to a hard drive it is sometimes written in multiple fragments because there is no contiguous space available...
Part of a data packet. If a router sends data to a network that has a maximum packet size smaller than the packet itself, the router is forced to break up the packet into smaller fragments.
A contiguous part of a message. Messages are fragmented so they can be sent over a network having finite maximum packet length.
An IP datagram that represents a portion of a higher layer's packet that was too large to be sent in its entirety over the output network.
Individual essence, or soul. The term conveys that each of us is a fragment of the whole, and particularly, a fragment of our entity, with which we will recombine when we have completed all our lifetimes on the physical plane.
A piece of a packet that results from a router dividing an IP datagram into smaller pieces for transmission across a network that cannot handle the original datagram size. Fragments use the same format as datagrams; fields in the IP header declare whether a datagram is a fragment and, if so, where the data in the fragment occurred in the original datagram. IP software at the receiving end must reassemble the fragments. See also maximum transmission unit.
Piece of a larger packet that has been broken down to smaller units.
1. a separated piece of someone's spiritual body. The soul to whom it belongs may not know where it is. It can be imbedded in someone else's spiritual body. 2. in witchcraft, when casting a spell, part of the witch's consciousness that can remain with the person on whom the spell is cast. 3. part of the consciousness of one person that can parasite on another; psychic vampirism; 4. part of the consciousness of an overbearing parent that can obsess a child.
Usually a piece of a table or index. For example, a table fragment can contain a structure for information on the state of California, while the table as a whole contains a structure for information on all U.S. states. (A fragment can also be a whole table or index.)
A piece of a packet. When a router is forwarding an IP packet toa network that has a maximum packet size smaller than the packetsize, it is forced to break up that packet into multiplefragments. These fragments will be reassembled by the IP layer atthe destination host. fragmentation
A part broken away from a whole. A detached, incomplete part.
