The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is a network protocol that is used for sending error messages and operational information related to IP (Internet Protocol) communication.

It is an integral part of the Internet Protocol Suite and is primarily employed by network devices, such as routers, to report errors and provide feedback about network conditions.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the main protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. It is used by network devices, like routers, to send error messages indicating, for example, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached.

ICMP sends:

1. Error reporting messages. (It does not deal with error correction).

2. Query messages (e.g. Diagnosis).

E.g: Ping commands uses ICMP for above purposes.
