ICMP
Found in RFC 1885 and originally found in RFC 792.
- The functions of ICMP are explained in 1885, but many other RFCs are referenced:
- 1970 for Neighbor Discovery
- 1191 for Path MTU Discovery
Continues to provide some maintenance for an unreliable IPv6.
No ICMPv6 messages are sent for ICMPv6 errors.
