I want to send a small packet from one machine to another in same network. Here are the network specifications:
IP of machine A: 192.158.1.10
IP of machine B: 192.158.1.20
Distance between machines: 1 hop
Protocol: TCP
MTU: 1500
I want to understand that if I send a small TCP packet (less than MTU) then which protocols are involved in delivering that packet to the destination?
For example if I send a message of size 50 B. Then the end result will be submitting a packet over ethernet + tcp + ip = 24 B + 20 B + 20 =64B will be the header size .... right?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
BTW: I am using java to send a packet but it does not matter I guess.
