ICMP Redirect/Change Requests The default gateway of the host may need to use a redirect/change request to inform the host of the best path to a certain network.

Clock Synchronization and Transit Time Estimation The ICMP timestamp request message allows a host to ask for the current time according to the remote host. The remote host uses an ICMP timestamp reply message to respond to the request.

Address Mask Requirements When a network administrator uses the process of subnetting to divide a major IP address into multiple subnets, a new subnet mask is created.

Router Discovery Message When a host on the network boots, and the host has not been manually configured with a default gateway, it can learn of available routers through the process of router discovery.

Router Solicitation Message A host generates an ICMP router solicitation message in response to a missing default gateway.

Congestion and Flow Control Messages ICMP source-quench messages are used to reduce the amount of data lost from congestion.
