In this question we consider a router that has to fragment an IP datagram to make it fit into a link with an MTU smaller than the datagram's original size. Assume the MTU for an outgoing link is 1,500 bytes and the datagram we want to transmit has a total length of 4,000 bytes (including 20 bytes of IP header!). What is the offset value for the second datagram sent by the router?
