Source Quench is intergrated within ICMP and IP. ICMP is used to control and
managed information that are transmited bewteen nodes to share status and
error information. When a router bigins to to buffer to many packets because
of the inability to to transmit them as fast as they are being received it
will generate an ICMP source quench messages which will be sent to the
sender to then slow down the rate of packet transmission. All this functions
at
layer 3.
Hope this helps
