Time To Live This is a counter that decrements every time it passes through a
router. When it reaches zero, the datagram is discarded. It is used
to prevent accidental routing loops.
Protocol The protocol indicates the type of transport packet being carried,
for example, 1 = ICMP; 2= IGMP; 6 = TCP; 17= UDP.
Header Checksum This is used to detect processing errors introduced into the packet
inside a router or bridge where the packet is not protected by a link
layer cyclic redundancy check. Packets with an invalid checksum
are discarded by all nodes in an IP network.
Source IP Address This is the IP address of the original sender of the packet.
Destination IP
Address This is the IP address of the final destination of the packet.
Options IP options is a variable-length list of IP options for a datagram that
define IP
Security Option, IP Stream Identifier , (security and
handling restrictions for the military), Record Route (have each
router record its IP address), Loose Source Routing (specifies a
list of IP addresses that must be traversed by the datagram),
Strict Source Routing (specifies a list of IP addresses that must
ONLY be traversed by the datagram), Timestamp (have each
router record its IP address and time), End of IP List and No IP
Options .
Padding Padding is used as a filler to ensure that the IP packet is a multiple
of 32 bits.
