TTL- Time To Live
To determine if an IPv4 packet is carrying an ICMPv4 packet, you can examine the packet's protocol field in the IPv4 header. The protocol field specifies the type of payload the IPv4 packet carries, and for ICMPv4, this field is set to 1. Additionally, you can analyze the packet's structure; ICMPv4 packets have a specific format beginning with a type field that indicates the kind of ICMP message being transmitted.
To determine if an IPv4 packet is carrying an ICMPv4 packet, you can examine the packet's Protocol field in the IPv4 header. This field is located at byte 9 of the header and has a value of 1 for ICMPv4 packets. If the Protocol field equals 1, then the payload of the IPv4 packet is an ICMPv4 packet. Additionally, you can further analyze the payload to confirm that it corresponds to an ICMPv4 message format.

SCIENCE
RIP messages are wrapped in a UDP package, which already has a checksum.
The "packets" are actually called "segments" in the case of layer 4 (i.e., TCP or UDP).When creating an IP packet, a host (computer, or other equipment that participates in a communication) adds information to the "protocol" field. This indicates whether the IP packet transports a TCP segment, a UDP segment, or some other kind of information.The "packets" are actually called "segments" in the case of layer 4 (i.e., TCP or UDP).When creating an IP packet, a host (computer, or other equipment that participates in a communication) adds information to the "protocol" field.

A packet will not go around networks endlessly because it has a field in the header called the TTL field. This is a number that limits the number of hops or networks a packet will be forwarded to.
Arbitration field
The field in the IP header used to ensure that a packet is forwarded through no more than N routers is the "Time to Live" (TTL) field. The TTL value is decremented by each router that forwards the packet, and if it reaches zero, the packet is discarded. This mechanism prevents packets from circulating indefinitely in the network due to routing errors. By setting the TTL to a specific value, a sender can effectively control the maximum number of hops a packet can take.

There are two address fields. Source is the IP address the packet came from and destination is the IP address the packet is meant to be delivered to.
