ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for error detection and reporting in IP networks, including ping messages. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. DNS (Domain Name System) is used to translate human-readable domain names (like www.yahoo.com) into IP addresses. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used for transmitting web pages and other web content between servers and clients.
