UDP-1 Lab: Q04 How large can a UDP segment be? What is the maximum length of a UDP segment?

Question

Answer

There is no maximum length of a UDP segment, since it can be fragmented across multiple IP datagrams.

Answer

Since the UDP header length field is 16 bits and indicates the number of bytes in the UDP segment, a segment can be as large as roughly 2**16 bytes

Answer

Since the UDP header length field is 8 bits and indicates the number of bytes in the UDP segment, a segment can be as large as roughly 2**8 bytes

Answer

1024 bytes.
