F.3 ICMP Parameter Problem Message Header

This description is taken from pages 8 and 9 of RFC 792, Internet Control Message Protocol , by Jon Postel, Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California.

Parameter Problem Message      0                   1                   2                   3     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+    |     Type      |     Code      |          Checksum             |    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+    |    Pointer    |                   unused                      |    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+    |      Internet Header + 64 bits of Original Data Datagram      |    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     Type        12     Code        0 = pointer indicates the error.     Checksum        The checksum is the 16-bit ones's complement of the one's       complement sum of the ICMP message starting with the ICMP Type.       For computing the checksum , the checksum field should be zero.     Pointer        If code = 0, identifies the octet where an error was detected.     Internet Header + 64 bits of Data Datagram        The internet header plus the first 64 bits of the datagram that       elicited this error response.
