ICMP Statistics
ICMP is the abbreviation for Internet Control Message Protocol. ICMP supplies
messages and error reports for packets that travel between host servers and gateways.
The ICMP stats can be used to diagnose a connectivity problem. If you are trying to
ping a router and you're not getting a response, you can check the "InMsgs" to see if the
ping arrived at the router and just could not get back. This might indicate that the
router has no route back to the originator.
To view ICMP information, choose ICMP Stats from the Diagnostics menu. The
following page will appear.
