The fragmentation offset is the part of a packet header that defines the offset from the first packet at which to place the new data during TCP Fragmentation. During a packet fragmentation attack, this part of the header is used to tell the TCP/IP stack to overwrite the original packet header simulating packet injection on the target machine or appliance.
