ICMP generates echo request packets. It is used to test whether a node is
available.
Port number
The port number, together with the IP address, forms an unambiguous
connection point between two processes (applications).
Predictable ETHERNET
The delay time of a message on an ETHERNET network can be predicted.
The measures which have been taken in predictable ETHERNET make it
virtually possible to realize realtime requirements.
