1. What is the IP address of your host? What is the IP address of the destination
host?
IP address of source host is 10.10.63.7
IP address of destination host is 62.146.120.97
2. Why is it that an ICMP packet does not have source and destination port
numbers?
There are no port numbers for source or destination of ICMP packets as they are
designed to communicate using information that resides in the network layer among the
routers and hosts as against between processes like in application layer.

3. Examine one of the ping request packets sent by your host. What are the
ICMP type and code numbers? What other fields does this ICMP packet have?
How many bytes are the checksum, sequence number and identifier fields?
For the first ICMP echo request packet, the field values are: Type – 8, Code – 0, other
fields are checksum, identifiers and sequence numbers and have byte size of 2.

code numbers? What other fields does this ICMP packet have? How many bytes
are the checksum, sequence number and identifier fields?
For the first ICMP echo reply packet, the field values are: Type – 0, Code – 0, other
fields are checksum, identifiers and sequence numbers and have byte size of 2.
