In the application layer there are no more packets. TCP presents a contiguous data stream to the application. A the "application layer" a TCP packet (well, segment really; TCP at its own layer doesn't know from packets) is never fragmented, since it doesn't exist.
What is fragmentation in TCP IP?
IP fragmentation is an Internet Protocol (IP) process that breaks packets into smaller pieces (fragments), so that the resulting pieces can pass through a link with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) than the original packet size. The fragments are reassembled by the receiving host.
What layer breaks up data into segments using TCP?
TCP divides the data received from the application layer into segments and attaches a header to each segment. Segment headers contain sender and recipient ports, segment ordering information, and a data field known as a checksum.
