Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An IP packet consists of an Ethernet, IP and TCP header. This information helps the packet adhere to the communication protocol standard and reach its destination on the network. The payload portion of the packet contains the data that a user or device wants to send.
Detailed explanation-2: -The maximum number of bytes that can be included in a UDP payload is (2^16 – 1) bytes plus the header bytes. This gives 65535 bytes – 8 bytes = 65527 bytes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “payload” is the data area of the frame, which contains the information that is being sent or received. Size of the payload can invoke packet fragmentation, which splits the packets into several smaller and more manageable packets.
