The IRTF publishes the results of Internet-related research and development activities. These results might not be suitable for deployment. This RFC represents the consensus of the Information-Centric Networking Research Group of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). Documents approved for publication by the IRSG are not candidates for any level of Internet Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 7841."

>> 2/ We have added an "IANA Considerations” Section.

>> 3/ We have added the following paragraph in the introduction:
>>
>> "In order to carry out meaningful experimentation and deployment of ICN protocols, tools to manage and debug the operation of ICN architectures and protocols are needed analogous to ping and traceroute used for TCP/IP. This document describes the design of a management and debugging protocol analogous to the ping protocol of TCP/IP, which will aid the experimental deployment of ICN protocols. As the community continues its experimentation with ICN architectures and protocols, the design of ICN Ping might change accordingly. ICN Ping is designed as a "first line of defense” tool to troubleshoot ICN architectures and protocols. As such, this document is classified as an experimental RFC.”
