  Internet Control Message Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ICMP differs in purpose from TCP and UDP in that it is usually not used directly by user network applications.
ICMP messages are typically generated in response to errors in IP datagrams (as specified in RFC 1122) or for diagnostic or routing purposes.
ICMP messages are constructed at the IP layer, usually from a normal IP datagram which has generated an ICMP response.

 ICMP type 3, Destination unreachable message   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The ICMP Destination Unreachable message is sent by a router in response to a packet which it cannot forward because the destination (or next hop) is unreachable or a service is unavailable.
ICMP Destination Unreachable messages with a code meaning "fragmentation needed and DF set" should be used for SDRP MTU discovery as described in Section 9.
ICMP Destination Unreachable messages are handled by the encapsulator depending upon their Code field.

 IC-MP.org - International Commission on Missing Persons - [ ICMP ]
ICMP is eager that the Government of the Republika Srpska succeed in its efforts as ordered by the Human Rights Chamber.
ICMP endeavors to secure the co-operation of Governments and other authorities in locating and identifying persons missing as a result of armed conflicts, other hostilities or violations of human rights and to assist them in doing so.
ICMP also supports the work of other organizations in their efforts, encourages public involvement in its activities and contributes to the development of appropriate expressions of commemoration and tribute to the missing.

 Internet Protocols (IP)
When an ICMP destination-unreachable message is sent by a router, it means that the router is unable to send the package to its final destination.
An ICMP echo-request message, which is generated by the ping command, is sent by any host to test node reachability across an internetwork.
ICMP redirects allow host routing tables to remain small because it is necessary to know the address of only one router, even if that router does not provide the best path.

 RFC 792 (rfc792) - Internet Control Message Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The first octet of the data portion of the datagram is a ICMP type field; the value of this field determines the format of the remaining data.
ICMP Fields: Type 11 Code 0 = time to live exceeded in transit; 1 = fragment reassembly time exceeded.
ICMP Fields: Type 4 Code 0 Checksum The checksum is the 16-bit ones's complement of the one's complement sum of the ICMP message starting with the ICMP Type.

 Path MTU Discovery and Filtering ICMP
This error (type 3 (destination unreachable), code 4 (fragmentation needed but don't-fragment bit set)) is returned by a router when it receives a packet that is too large for it to forward and the DF bit is set.
ICMP is an integral part of the Internet and can not be filtered without due consideration for the effects.
In this case, if the ICMP can't fragment errors can not get back to the source host due to a filter, the host will never know that the packets it is sending are too large.

ICMP, uses the basic support of IP as if it were a higher level protocol, however, ICMP is actually an integral part of IP, and must be implemented by every IP module.
ICMP messages are sent in several situations: for example, when a datagram cannot reach its destination, when the gateway does not have the buffering capacity to forward a datagram, and when the gateway can direct the host to send traffic on a shorter route.
ICMP Fields: Type 3 Code 0 = net unreachable; 1 = host unreachable; 2 = protocol unreachable; 3 = port unreachable; 4 = fragmentation needed and DF set; 5 = source route failed.

 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
ICMP messages generated by router R1, in response to message sent by H0 to H1 and forwarded by R0.
The source address is set to the address of the computer generating the ICMP ECHO request and the IP protocol type is set to "ICMP" to indicate that the packet is to be handled by the remote end system's ICMP server program.
Each time an ICMP echo reply message is received, the ping program displays a single line of text.

 ICMP Packet
ICMP is considered an unreliable protocol where no attempt is made to keep track of packets as to being in a sequence, order, or verify that they were received.
ICMP Checksum (16 bits):This is a checksum that covers the header and data portion of an ICMP packet to allow the receiving host to verify the integrity of an incoming ICMP packet.
The ICMP packet is loaded with a predefined number in the checksum field, and then when the checksum is computed, then the checksum is written over the previous value.

 CERT Advisory CA-1998-01 Smurf IP Denial-of-Service Attacks
The two main components to the smurf denial-of-service attack are the use of forged ICMP echo request packets and the direction of packets to IP broadcast addresses.
ICMP is used to convey status and error information including notification of network congestion and of other network transport problems.
ICMP echo reply traffic (the traffic from the intermediary) could be blocked at the victim's router; however, that will not necessarily prevent congestion that occurs between the victim's router and the victim's Internet service provider.

 ICMP Shell - by: Peter Kieltyka   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It allows users to connect to a remote host and to open a shell using only ICMP to send and receive data.
ICMP Shell was written in C for the UNIX environment.
By default the client and server send packets with an ICMP type of 0 (ICMP_ECHO_REPLY), however this can be changed on both the client and server side.

 ONLamp.com: Examining ICMP Packets
ICMP stands for the Internet Control Message Protocol, and it was designed to send control messages between routers and hosts.
For example, an ICMP packet may be sent when a router is experiencing congestion or when a destination host is unavailable.
An ICMP header follows the IP header in an IP packet, but it is not considered to be a Layer 4 header like TCP or UDP.

 IT Architect | ICMP Stands For Trouble | September 5, 2000   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
ICMP is important for the Internet (and IP networks) to function correctly; however, ICMP can also have a negative effect on your network's security.
ICMP Address Mask Re-quests (type 16) should only be answered by routers, using an Address Mask Reply (type 17).
As this ICMP type should only be used by local hosts looking for the subnet masks, it is an obvious candidate for blocking at firewalls.

ICMP Fields: Type 10 Code 0 Router Discovery Working Group [Page 6] RFC 1256 ICMP Router Discovery Messages September 1991 Checksum The 16-bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of the ICMP message, start- ing with the ICMP Type.
Router Discovery Working Group [Page 9] RFC 1256 ICMP Router Discovery Messages September 1991 The term "advertising interface" refers to any functioning and enabled multicast interface that has at least one IP address whose configured Advertise flag is TRUE.
One possible use of that capability is to add Router Discovery Working Group [Page 17] RFC 1256 ICMP Router Discovery Messages September 1991 digital signatures or some other form of authentication information to the advertisements, to enable hosts to verify their authenticity.

 NISCC Vulnerability Advisory ICMP - 532967   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
ICMP is the control protocol for IP (Internet Protocol), a core network protocol used in the majority of networked computer systems today.
The severity of the spoofing of ICMP Source Quench packets is likely to be moderate to low because the support of routers for Source Quench as a means of congestion control has been deprecated for ten years.
An ICMP error packet records the IP header of the packet causing the error as well as the first 64 bits of the TCP header, which consists of the source and destination ports and the sequence number.

 stateful ICMP messages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In addition to the IP header (20 bytes) and the ICMP header (8 Bytes), an ICMP destination-unreachable message adds at least the IP header of the original IP datagram that generated the error (20 bytes) plus at least the 8 first bytes of its data portion.
An ICMP error message is required to include in its data part, the IP header of the packet which had generated this error.
