Please Whitelist This Site?
I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :)
If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads.
If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK.
Thanks for your understanding!
Sincerely, Charles Kozierok

ICMP Version 4 (ICMPv4) Error Message Types and Formats
ICMP error messages are used by routers
and hosts to tell a device that sent a datagram about problems encountered
in delivering it. In the original ICMP version 4, five different error
messages are defined, which are all described in the original ICMP standard,
RFC 792. These are some of the most important ICMP messages, since they
provide critical feedback about error conditions and may help a transmitting
device take corrective action to ensure reliable and efficient datagram
delivery.
In this first of four sections on
specific ICMP types, I look at the ICMPv4 error messages. I begin with
Destination Unreachable messages, which are sent due to datagram
delivery failures, and Source Quench messages, used to tell a
device to slow down the rate at which it sends datagrams. Next I describe
Time Exceeded messages, sent when a datagram has been traveling
the network too long or takes too long to be reassembled from fragments,
and Redirect messages, which let a router provide feedback about
better routes to a host. Finally, I discuss Parameter Problem
messages, a generic catch all type used for problems not
covered by other ICMP error messages.
