   Time to Live

      Time to live in seconds; as this field is decremented at each

      field should be at least as great as the number of gateways which
      this datagram will traverse.

   Header Checksum

      The 16 bit one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16
      bit words in the header.  For computing the checksum, the checksum
      field should be zero.  This checksum may be replaced in the
      future.

      The address of the gateway or host that composes the ICMP message.
      Unless otherwise noted, this can be any of a gateway's addresses.

      sent.
