I am implementing an application aware of the MAC layer in Veins simulator.

My question is where I can get the behavior of the 802.11p fragmentation in Veins MAC layer? (It is about 1500 bytes in the Ethernet architecture).

My question lies in the fact that I want transmit a video but I don't want fragmentation in MAC layer. But reviewing the MAC layer code, I did not find how the fragmentation is performed.

Thank you in beforehand by the answer.

The MAC layer of Veins up to and including the current Veins 4.7.1 is given ready-to-send frames (not datagrams, segments, or packets). If fragmentation is to be performed, it has to be done by the module feeding frames to the MAC layer.
