ICMP.
ICMP stands for Internet Control Message Protocol. This protocol enables networking devices to communicate problems or errors that arise during data transmission. One common tool that utilizes ICMP is Ping, which tests connectivity by sending request and reply messages. Additionally, ICMP encompasses various other message types, including Destination Unreachable, Time Exceeded, and Parameter Problem, among others.
