[[Transmission Control Protocol]] (TCP) is an example of a protocol that will adjust its segment size to be smaller than the MTU. [[User Datagram Protocol]] (UDP) and [[Internet Control Message Protocol]] (ICMP) disregard MTU size thereby forcing IP to fragment oversized datagrams.<ref>[http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1870 Basic Journey of a Packet]</ref>

 

Perhaps the most complex aspects of IP are [[IP address]]ing and [[routing]]. Addressing refers to how end hosts become assigned IP addresses and how subnetworks of IP host addresses are divided and grouped together. IP routing is performed by all hosts, but most importantly by internetwork routers, which typically use either [[interior gateway protocol]]s (IGPs) or [[Exterior Gateway Protocol|external gateway protocol]]s (EGPs) to help make IP datagram forwarding decisions across IP connected networks.
