Creating fragmentation using sockets (on ethernet)

Hello,

Packets which are bigger than 1500 (which is the default MTU for
ethernet) should cause
fragmentation (assuming that the machine supports it).

I want to test fragmentation issues on some system.

- Can anybody give some advice/pointers for creating a small "c"
programs using sockets API
which will cause fragmentation ?

Regards,
Ian
