An ICMP message is generated by an IPv4 host for transmission to another host in the same local area Ethernet network. (i) Describe the sequence of the steps of how the ICMP message is prepared and forwarded. (ii) Consider the case when the Ethernet MAC sub-layer receives a 36-byte packet with the ICMP message from the Network Layer. Calculate the ratio of the ICMP message to the total MAC frame size. (ii) Calculate the ratio of the payload data to the entire MAC frame size in a classic Ethernet with the largest possible amount of the payload.
