An integral part of the Internet Protocol (IP) that handles error and control messages. Specifically, gateways and hosts use ICMP to send reports of problems with datagrams back to the original source of the datagram. ICMP includes an echo request/reply used to test whether a destination is reachable or responding.
The ICMP delivers error and control messages from hosts to the requesters. AN ICMP test can determine whether a destination is reachable and responding. One example of this is using the Ping application.
Part of the IP layer that is used to transmit error messages and other control messages to hosts and routers.
The TCP/IP protocol used to send control and error information regarding IP data gram transmissions. When an IP data gram cannot be delivered to its destination, perhaps because the machine at the destination is temporarily out of service or message traffic is too heavy, a router may use ICMP to notify the sender of the failure. See also IP.

This protocol was designed to operate on large, complex topology networks with segments that have different bandwidth and delay characteristics. As with other routing protocols, IGRP determines where to send data packets that have destination addresses outside the local network.
