The ICMP Object Type includes those counters that describe the rates that Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages are received and sent by a certain entity using the ICMP protocol. It also describes various error counts for the ICMP protocol.
Table 17.1 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Performance Counters
ICMP performance counter | Meaning | ||
Messages Outbound Errors | The number of ICMP messages that this entity did not send because of problems discovered within ICMP, such as lack of buffers. This value should not include errors discovered outside the ICMP layer, such as the inability of IP to route the resultant datagram. In some implementations, there might be no types of error that contribute to this counter's value. | ||
Messages Received Errors | The number of ICMP messages that the entity received, but determined as having errors (bad ICMP checksums, bad length, and so on). | ||
Messages Received/Second | The rate at which ICMP messages are received by the entity. The rate includes those messages received in error. | ||
Messages Sent/Second | The rate at which ICMP messages are attempted to be sent by the entity. The rate includes those messages sent in error. | ||
Messages/Second | The total rate at which ICMP messages are received and sent by the entity. The rate includes those messages received or sent in error. | ||
Received Address Mask | The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages received. | ||
Received Address Mask Reply | The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages received. | ||
Received Destination Unreachable | The number of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages received. | ||
Received Echo Reply/Second | The rate of ICMP Echo Reply messages received. | ||
Received Echo/Second | The rate of ICMP Echo messages received. | ||
Received Parameter Problem | The number of ICMP Parameter Problem messages received. | ||
Received Redirect/Second | The rate of ICMP Redirect messages received. | ||
Received Source Quench | The number of ICMP Source Quench messages received. | ||

Received Timestamp/Second | The rate of ICMP Timestamp (request) messages received. | ||
Sent Address Mask | The number of ICMP Address Mask Request messages sent. | ||
Sent Address Mask Reply | The number of ICMP Address Mask Reply messages sent. | ||
