hello

I've googled around to find out EXACTLY what ping messages mean

like
icmp: time exceeded in-transit [tos 0xc0]

or

icmp: echo request [ttl 1]

first I went to check out rfc's, but didn't find much there

could you please give me any hints ?

I've never found a decent online reference for this info. I usualy turn to the book Internet Core Protocols (by Eric A. Hall; O'Reilly, 2000) when I need to untangle ping responses (or most any packet internals).


Or you could try asking specific questions here ... I don't have the time to answer a question as open-ended as "EXACTLY what ping messages mean" ... but I can help with the occasional *specific* question.
