Which type of evasion technique is accomplished by separating the traffic into smaller segments before transmitting across the network?

Encryption scrambles data to protect its confidentiality and integrity, rather than breaking it into smaller segments for evasion.

Tunneling encapsulates one protocol inside another, creating a 'tunnel' through a network, but doesn't inherently involve splitting traffic into smaller segments for evasion.

Proxies act as intermediaries for network requests, often to hide client IP addresses or cache content, but they do not primarily involve segmenting traffic for evasion.

Fragmentation involves splitting a larger packet into multiple smaller packets, which can sometimes bypass intrusion detection systems (IDS) or firewalls that are not configured to reassemble and inspect fragmented packets effectively.
