Which protocol does Ping use?

  • A.
    TCP
  • B.ARP
  • C.ICMP
  • D.BootP

Answer: C

Correct answer: ICMP

Ping sends an ICMP echo request and waits for an echo reply, timing the round trip. It carries no transport layer header at all, which is why a ping can succeed while an application still fails - reachability at the network layer says nothing about whether a TCP port is open. ARP resolves addresses within a segment, and BootP is a predecessor of DHCP.
