6.20.6.2 ICMP Statistics
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a network layer protocol that
transmits message packets to report errors in processing IP packets. ICMP is
therefore an integral part of the Internet Protocol. ICMP messages may be used
to report various situations, such as 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 is also used by routers to feed back information about more suitable
routes (that is, the next hop router) to use for a specific destination.
