I thought RARP had a role in network health too, but maybe I'm wrong?

I vaguely recall that IP is more about addressing and routing, not really about health checks. So, ICMP seems like the right choice here.

I feel like ICMP is definitely the protocol used for error messages and diagnostics, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I remember practicing a question about ARP and RARP, but I don't think they relate to network health.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The wording is a little tricky, and I want to make sure I understand the difference between the simulator types before selecting an answer.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky OSPF question. I'll need to carefully consider the area boundaries and LDP-over-RSVP tunneling requirements.
