    Internet Control Message Protocol: Thanish Rollno: 28

    Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a network layer protocol that reports errors and provides feedback about the reachability and performance of IP networks. It is used for error reporting, sending query messages between devices, and redirecting traffic to more optimal routes. Some key message types include destination unreachable, source quench, time exceeded, parameter problem, and redirection. ICMP assists in network management and troubleshooting but does not fix errors itself - it only sends notification messages.

    INTERNET CONTROL

    MESSAGE PROTOCOL
    THANISH ROLLNO : 28
    INTERNET CONTROL MESSAGE PROTOCOL

     Internet Control Message Protocol is a protocol used for error handling and debugging in
    the network layer. It is mainly used in network devices such as routers for sending errors
    and operations. The main work of the Internet Control Message Protocol is of reporting
    errors, between any two devices which are connected through the Internet. Internet
    Control Message Protocol (ICMP) also has the work to assess network performance.
    IMPORTANT POINTS

     It is present in a packet along with IP header


     It is not independent .
     It will no rectify the error it just throw a message.
     ICMP can send msgs to the source but not the routers.
     ICMP msgs are transmitted within IP datagram.
    TYPES OF ICMP

    ERROR REPORTING
    QUERY MESSAGES
    ERROR REPORTING

     DESTINATION UNREACHABLE
     SOURCE QUENCH
     TIME EXCEEDED
     PARAMETER PROBLEMS
     REDIRECTION
    DESTINATION UNREACHABLE

    The destination is unreachable and


    is generated by the host or its
    inbound gateway to inform the
    client that the destination is
    unreachable for some reason.
    SOURCE QUENCH MESSAGE

     A source quench message is a request to decrease the


    traffic rate for messages sent to the host destination) or
    we can say when receiving host detects that the rate of
    sending packets (traffic rate) to it is too fast it sends the
    source quench message to the source to slow the pace
    down so that no packet can be lost.
    TIME EXCEEDED

     When some fragments are lost in a network then the holding


    fragment by the router will be dropped then ICMP will take
    the source IP from the discarded packet and informs the
    source, of discarded datagram due to the time to live field
    reaching zero, by sending the time exceeded message.
     TTL ( TIME TO LIVE )
    PARAMETER PROBLEMS

    Whenever packets come to the router then the calculated


    header checksum should be equal to the received header
    checksum then only the packet is accepted by the router.
    If there is a mismatch packet will be dropped by the
    router.
     ICMP will take the source IP from the discarded
    packet and inform the source by sending a parameter
    problem message.
    REDIRECTION MESSAGE

     Redirect requests data packets are sent on an


    alternate route. The message informs a host to
    update its routing information (to send packets on
    an alternate route).
