What else can I help you with?
What Network layer protocol does the trace route utility use to obtain information about paths between a source and destination?
It uses ICMP ECHO requests, aka ping.
The ping utility is the most common use of which protocol?
ICMP
What protocol does tracert uses?
It uses ICMP.
What does the be ping mean?
Ping is a special command line utility which allows to check accessibility of particular hosts. It uses ICMP protocol and because many online services block it, the utility not always provides correct results.
How the traceroute utility uses ICMP ECHO requests to trace the path from one networked node to another identifying all intermediate hops between the two nodes?
The traceroute utility uses ICMP ECHO requests by sending packets with incrementally increasing Time to Live (TTL) values. Each router that handles the packet decrements the TTL; when it reaches zero, the router sends back an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the sender. By starting with a TTL of 1 and increasing it for each subsequent packet, traceroute identifies each intermediate hop along the path to the destination, displaying the round-trip time for each hop. Ultimately, this process reveals the entire route taken by packets from the source to the destination.
What network layer protocol layer does the traceroute utility use to obtain its information about paths between a source and destonation?
It uses ICMP protocol - Internet Control Message Protocol
What protocol does ping use?
"Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo function which is detailed in RFC 792"http://www.activexperts.com/activsocket/tutorials/ping/So the short answer is that it uses the ICMP protocol.
What network layer protocol does the traceroute utility use to obtain its information about paths between a source and destination?
ICMP
What protocol is used by traceroot?
Tracert uses ICMP, just like ping does.
Ping uses which internet layer protocol?
Ping uses ICMP, and therefore resides at layer 3 (Network layer)
What transport layer protocol does ping use?
Assuming IPv4 ICMP. Ping uses IP for transport. Ping in itself is an "Echo Request", which is a function of the ICMP protocol. The IP Packet will carry the ICMP protocol from end-to-end. ICMP has a protocol number of 1, so the "Protocol" field in the IPv4 header will contain "1" as a reference to the ICMP payload. For IPv6, ICMPv6 is used, and the transport will be IPv6.
Which protocols does the ping program never use to carry its messages?
ping uses the ICMP protocol.
