If a fragment of a packet gets lost, the destination host will be unable to rebuild the packet, and the packet will be discarded.

IP is connectionless, and it has no facility to request missing fragments or packets. Upper-layer protocols or applications must request any missing packets to be resent, if necessary (for some protocols or applications, e.g. real-time, resending old data can be a bad thing). Connection-oriented protocols, e.g. TCP, will request any missing data, but connectionless protocols, e.g. UDP will not request missing data, so it would be up to the application or application-layer protocol to request missing data.

  • Any fragment part lost TCP help to request them again? Commented Jul 31, 2018 at 17:17
  • this is missing fragment of a packet or sender ip packet? Commented Jul 31, 2018 at 17:19

    If a packet is dropped, then TCP would not get the segment that is the payload of the packet. TCP guarantees in-order data delivery, and it has a mechanism to request missing segment be resent from the source TCP. Commented Jul 31, 2018 at 17:21
