Sr. No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Question When routers generate ICMP messages, to where do they send them? Are ICMP messages delivered reliably? If so, briey explain the mechanism. If not, give a reason why not. Name a circumstance under which an end-host (not a router) will send an ICMP message. Which fields are related to Fragmentation? A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 0. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? Do we know if the packet was fragmented? A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 1 and a fragmentation offset value of zero. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? What is the maximum number of routers that can be recorded if the timestamp option has a flag value of 1? Why? Explain Timestamp Message format in ICMP. What is the function of routing table? How the errors are detected in IP? Why is there a restriction on the generation of an ICMP message in response to a failed ICMP error message? What is the purpose of including the IP header and the first 8 bytes of datagram data in the error reporting ICMP messages? How can we determine if an IP packet is carrying an ICMP packet?
