The ICMP module processes ICMP traffic. It stores the amount of ICMP traffic and extracts information about the type.


ICMP generic graph

The ICMP generic traffic graph shows the amount of all ICMP packets and throughput in bit/s over time.


Graphs of more common ICMP types

Traffic graphs for the most common ICMP packet types Destination unreachable, Time exceeded, Echo reply/request and Timestamp reply/request are shown.


Distribution of all seen ICMP packets

Packet counters for all different ICMP packet types are shown in the table on the bottom.


The following types are supported:

  • Echo Reply
  • Echo Request
  • Destination Unreachable
  • Source Quench
  • Redirect
  • Router Advertisment
  • Router Solicitation
  • Time Exceeded
  • Parameter Problem
  • Timestamp Request
  • Timestamp Reply
  • Information Request
  • Information Reply
  • Adress Mask Request
  • Adress Mask Reply
  • Traceroute
  • Datagram Conversion Error
  • Mobile Host Redirect
  • Where-Are-You
  • Here-I-Am
  • Mobile Registration Request
  • Mobile Registration Reply
  • Domain Name Request
  • Domain Name Reply
  • Skip
  • Photorius
  • Experimental
  • Reserved


Seen ping peers

Here are all seen ping peers stored. A ping peer is an IP adress sending ICMP request(s) and the corresponding destination IP adress sending the ICMP reply/replies.

  • Ping sent from: The IP adress that sended an ICMP request.
  • Latest request time: This is the time, when the request packet was seen. If more than one packet has been seen, the latest timestamp is shown.
  • Ping sent to: The IP adress that receives the ICMP request and (usually) sends the ICMP reply.
  • Latest reply time: This is the time, when the reply packet was seen. If more than one packet has been seen, the latest timestamp is shown.
  • Number of ping requests: This is the total amount of ping requests sended from the requesting IP to the receiving IP adress.
  • Number of ping replies: This is the total amount of ping replies sended from the IP, that received a request, to the requesting IP adress.
