is the total since the last IPL

of the node.

Information in this Display:

ICMP Errors

– is the number of ICMP packets generated by this node.

Pkt Too Short

– is the number of datagrams received with a length shorter than

that specified in the header, or shorter than the ICMP minimum length.

Old Too Short

– is the number of old version ICMP datagrams that were too

short.

Bad Checksums

– is the number of ICMP messages received with a bad

checksum.

Old ICMP

– is the number of old version ICMP datagrams received.

Bad Pkt Length

– is the number of ICMP datagrams received with a length too

short for the given ICMP message type.

Bad ICMP Code

– is the number of ICMP datagrams received with a bad code

(which identifies parameters for the control message).

Responses Cnt

– is the total number of responses from this node to echoes and

requests for timestamps, information, and address masks (all described later).

Out Echo Reply

– is the number of outgoing responses to ICMP echo request dat-

agrams, which are sent by other entities in the IP network as a means of con-
firming that communication is possible.

In Echo Reply

– is the number of incoming ICMP echo responses, sent by other

entities in the IP network in response to echo requests (see "

Out Echo

") from this

node.

Out/In Dest Unrech

– is the number of outgoing datagrams that could not be

delivered because the destination device/network was not reachable, a nec-
essary protocol was not running, or fragmentation was necessary but disallowed
(due to the "don't frag" flag being set). The message text says

Outgoing

if this

node is a point in the path of the datagram, and

Incoming

if the datagram origi-

nated at this node.

Out/In Pkt Lost

– is the number of datagrams transmitted by this node that sub-

sequently were lost. The message text says

Outgoing

if this node is a point in the

path of the datagram, and

Incoming

if the datagram originated at this node.

Out/In Redirect

– is the number of datagrams transmitted by this node that sub-

sequently were redirected within the same network. The message text says

Out-

going

if this node is a point in the path of the datagram, and

Incoming

if the

datagram originated at this node.

Out Echo

– is the number of requests to other entities in the IP network to

respond, as a means of confirming that communication is possible.

In Echo

– is the number of requests from other entities in the IP network to

respond to those entities, as a means of confirming that communication is pos-
sible.

Out/In Time Exceed

– is the number of transmitted datagrams that subsequently

were discarded by a router due to expiration of the datagram's "time to live," or
by a destination host due to inability to reassemble the datagram within the nec-
essary time period. The message text says

Outgoing

if this node is a point in the

path of the datagram, and

Incoming

if the datagram originated at this node.
