What is the purpose of the following protocols: Internet Protocol, Internet Control Message Protocol, and Address Resolution Protocol.
What will be an ideal response?
Internet Protocol (IP): Routes packets from sender to receiver.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP): Handles information about IP-based routing and network behavior, especially as they relate to "traffic conditions" and errors.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) converts between numeric IP network addresses and Media Access Control (MAC) addresses on a specific cable segment (always used for the final step of packet delivery).Routing:This defines the mechanism that forwards packets from sender to receiver, in which numerous intermediate relays may be involved in achieving delivery from sender to receiver.
