Paging adds on another layer of abstraction to the memory address translation. Because each segment table entry includes a length as well as a base address, a programcannot inadvertently access a main memory location beyond the limits of asegment. In segmented paging, the main memory is divided into variable size segments which are further divided into fixed size pages.
