Hi folks,
I saw a message regrading the ping command:

Could anyone explain the meaning of the "source quence response'?
I did some knowledge search about ICMP, is any relationship with the situation?
Thanks in advance.

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is part of the internetwork layer and uses the IP datagram delivery facility to send its messages. ICMP sends messages that perform the following control, error reporting, and informational functions for the TCP/IP protocol suite:
Flow control. When datagrams arrive too quickly for processing, the destination host or an intermediate gateway sends an ICMPsource quench message back to the sender. This message instructs the source to stop sending datagrams temporarily.
