  Internet Control Message Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Internet control message protocol is part of the Internet protocol suite as defined in RFC 792.
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 that has generated an ICMP response.

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 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.

ICMP messages may be subject to actions intended to cause the receiver believe the message came from a different source than the message originator.
ICMP messages may be subject to actions intended to cause the message or the reply to it go to a destination different than the message originator's intention.
The ICMP checksum calculation provides a protection mechanism against changes by a malicious interceptor in the destination and source address of the IP packet carrying that message, provided the ICMP checksum field is protected against change by authentication [IPv6-Auth] or encryption [IPv6-ESP] of the ICMP message.

 Protocol: ICMP ( Internet Control Message Protocol )
ICMP messages, delivered in IP packets, are used for out-of-band messages related to network operation or mis-operation.
If, according to the information in the gateway's routing tables, the network specified in the internet destination field of a datagram is unreachable, e.g., the distance to the network is infinity, the gateway may send a destination unreachable message to the internet source host of the datagram.
This message is a request to decrease the traffic rate of data messages sent to an internet destination.

 Internet Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a data-oriented protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork.
IP is a network layer protocol in the internet protocol suite and is encapsulated in a data link layer protocol (e.g., Ethernet).
This has the side-effect of discarding packets with bad headers on the spot, and with no required notification to either end (though an ICMP message may be sent).

 Internet Protocols (IP)
The Internet protocols are the world's most popular open-system (nonproprietary) protocol suite because they can be used to communicate across any set of interconnected networks and are equally well suited for LAN and WAN communications.
Internet protocols were first developed in the mid-1970s, when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) became interested in establishing a packet-switched network that would facilitate communication between dissimilar computer systems at research institutions.
To illustrate the scope of the Internet protocols, maps many of the protocols of the Internet protocol suite and their corresponding OSI layers.

ICMP and IP are tightly interwoven, and for all practical purposes are inseparable.
ICMP is the protocol used to send failure messages back to a system when a semi-permanent delivery problem has been detected.
If the message is intended for IP (such a message might be a "redirect" message, suggesting that the sender should use a different router), then the message will be delivered to the system's IP software for processing.

 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
ICMP messages generated by router R1, in response to message sent by H0 to H1 and forwarded by R0.
ICMP packets are encapsulated in IP for transmission across an internet.
It is the responsibility of the network layer (IP) protocol to ensure that the ICMP message is sent to the correct destination.

 EHS Company - - Primer: the Internet Control Message Protocol -
ICMP Error Messages are used when it is necessary to report a problem that is preventing delivery from occurring.
This message is typically seen when users only have a single (default) route defined on a network with multiple routers, and they should be sending datagrams for a specific network to a router other than the default.
A message is sent with an originating timestamp, and a reply is generated with a "received" timestamp and a "returned" timestamp.

 Internet Control Message Protocol "Destination Unreachable" (Code = 0x0D) Packets
The ICMP packet is sent as a response to a DNS name query by using TCP/UDP port 53.
In the Detail pane of Network Monitor, you can see the Internet Protocol (IP) header, which displays information about the IP address of the router or the node from where the packet is coming.
When this option is enabled, no ICMP error message is sent in response to a packet that is dropped because its forwarding is administratively prohibited.

A source quench message is a request to the source to reduce the rate at which it is transmitting the packets.

 RFC 777 (rfc777) - Internet Control Message Protocol
The ICMP messages typically report errors in the processing of datagrams, to avoid the infinite regress of messages about messages etc., no ICMP messages are sent about ICMP messages.
Message Formats ICMP messages are sent using the basic IP header.
Description If, according to the information in the gateway's routing tables, the network specified in the internet destination field of a datagram is unreachable, e.g., the distance to the network is infinity, the gateway sends a destination unreachable message to [Page 3] April 1981 RFC 777 the internet source host of the datagram.

 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Basics
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is an error reporting and diagnostic utility and is considered a required part of any IP implementation.
ICMPs are used by routers, intermediary devices, or hosts to communicate updates or error information to other routers, intermediary devices, or hosts.
Source Quench messages are sent when the destination is unable to process traffic as fast as the source is sending it.

 3.2.2 Internet Control Message Protocol -- ICMP
If an ICMP message of unknown type is received, it MUST be silently discarded.
Every ICMP error message includes the Internet header and at least the first 8 data octets of the datagram that triggered the error; more than 8 octets MAY be sent; this header and data MUST be unchanged from the received datagram.
In those cases where the Internet layer is required to pass an ICMP error message to the transport layer, the IP protocol number MUST be extracted from the original header and used to select the appropriate transport protocol entity to handle the error.

 Internet Control Message Protocol
Within the Internet Protocol, data is carried by the TCP, UDP etc. We however also need something to tell us whether the part of the Internet we are connected to or want to access is in working condition or not.
The reason ICMP changes with every version of IP is because it deals with IP and routing error messages most of the time and when the base technology evolves, ICMP has to mutate to keep up.
The Protocol field in the IP header is set to 1 to indicate that the packet is an ICMP datagram.
