IP datagrams on a specific network can carry a maximum of only 440 bytes in the data portion. A node on this network, running an application using TCP generates a TCP segment with 1,900 bytes in the data portion. How many IP packets are transmitted to carry this TCP segment, and what are their sizes (including the header of 20 bytes)?
