Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The minimum size of an IP packet is 21 bytes (20 bytes for the header, and 1 byte of data). The maximum size is 65, 535 bytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The maximum size of a TCP packet is 64K (65535 bytes). Generally, the packet size gets restricted by the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of network resources. MTU is the maximum size of the data transfer limit set by hardware in a network. The packet size should never exceed MTU.
Detailed explanation-3: -The standard size of a TCP packet has a minimum size of 20 bytes, and a maximum of 60 bytes. The UDP packet consists of only 8 bytes for each packet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each byte is 8 bits, so that’s 12000 bits to send, where each bit is a 0 or 1.
