ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a message control and error-reporting protocol
between a host
server and a gateway to
the Internet. ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams,
but the messages are processed by the IP software and are not directly apparent to the application
user.
