The document discusses various protocols at the network layer of the TCP/IP model, including ICMP, IGMP, ARP, and RARP.
ICMP is a control protocol used for network administration and management. It carries network status information such as issues, congestion, and host accessibility. IGMP is used to manage Internet Protocol multicast group memberships. ARP resolves IPv4 addresses to MAC addresses to allow communication between network applications and the datalink layer. RARP is a reverse address resolution protocol that allows a client to request its IPv4 address from the network when it only knows its MAC address.
