Show Notes

ICMP, short for Internet Control Message Protocol, is utilized by network devices like routers to communicate error messages and operational status regarding the network's conditions. Network devices typically generate ICMP messages in response to errors, such as when a packet cannot be delivered to its destination or when a router needs to communicate that it is experiencing congestion.
