ICMP:

ICMP is Internet Control Message Protocol which is used by the hosts and routers to transfer the network-layer information to each other. One of the usage of ICMP is error reporting.

  • ICMP messages consist of three fields.
    • Type – It is a number that uniquely recognizes the type of ICMP message
    • Code – It is a value that gives additional data about the message type.
    • First eight bytes of the IP datagram – To generate an ICMP message.

What are two kinds of ICMP messages obtained at the Traceroute sending host?
What is the primary weakness in the ICMP protocol that makes it subject to attack?
Most IP datagram reassembly algorithms have a timer to avoid having a lost fragment tie up reassembly buffers forever. Suppose that a datagram is fragmented into four fragments. The first three fragments arrive, but the last one is delayed. Eventually, the timer goes off and the three fragments in the receiver's memory are discarded. A little later, the last fragment stumbles in. What should be done with it?
