ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)is used for network diagnostics and error messaging. Key uses include:

Ping (Echo Request/Reply)– tests end-to-end connectivity✔

Traceroute– uses ICMP time exceeded messages to identify hops✔

Error reporting– returns various error types with differentcodes✔

However,ICMP does not re-route traffic. If a destination is unreachable, ICMP reports the error back to the sender; it doesn’t instruct routers to re-route.

Option D is FALSE– ICMPdoes not perform routing.

Address summarization(also called route aggregation) is a technique used in IP routing to combine several contiguous network prefixes into asingle summarized route.

This reduces the number of routes that need to be advertised and stored in routing tables, improvingscalability and performance.

Option A is correct– summarization replaces many specific routes with a single aggregated route.

Option Brefers to best path selection (not summarization).

Option Cis incorrect; duplicate advertisements are still processed and filtered based on metrics.

Option Dis unrelated to summarization; directly connected routes are always advertised unless specifically filtered.

AP router (Provider router)is locatedin the core of the service provider’s network. Its functions include:

ForwardingMPLS-labeled packetsbetweenPE routers.

Not interacting directly with customer routes or routing instances.

Having no knowledge ofVPN routing or customer-specific services.

Option C is correct– P routers sit in theMPLS core, isolated from customer edge.
