ICMP Object

The ICMP performance object consists of counters that measure the rates at which Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages are sent and received by using the ICMP protocol. It also includes counters that monitor ICMP protocol errors.

Counter Name

In some implementations, none of the error types are included in the value of this counter.
