What are ICMP and IMAP?

The ICMP stands for the Internet Control Message Protocol that is a lightweight set of applications designed originally to report and detect error conditions on the computer networks. The ICMP is the extension of the IP or the Internet Protocol and is being defined by the memorandum called as the RFC or the Request for Comments 792, being published by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Moreover, the ICMP lets the host, the router and even the other networking devices to simply exchange the basic control information just like the information on the status as well as the error, most especially when the data is being sent from a certain device up to another. Thus, it only means that the ICMP is useful when it comes to probing a certain network and determine its general characteristics or connectivity problems in troubleshooting the network. Whenever the network administrators understand ICMP as well as the probable causes of certain types of ICMP messages, he or she would be better equipped for diagnosing the network problems.

Apart from those the IMAP or the Internet Message Access Protocol mainly sounds just like a bit of Apple that reinvents GPS or maps. The only thing is that, it doesn’t really come in white and could not actually see it. Apart from those, the internet access of the message is definitely what is it for.
