Solution

The header of an IP packet contains the following information:

  1. Version: This indicates the version of IP. Currently, two versions are in use: IP Version 4 and IP Version 6.

  2. Internet Header Length (IHL): This indicates the length of the entire IP header.

  3. Type of Service (ToS): This field allows for prioritizing different types of data.

  4. Total Length: This is the length of the entire IP packet including the header and the data.

  5. Identification, Flags, Fragment Offset: These are used for fragmenting the IP packet for transmission and reassembling it at the receiving end.

  6. Time to Live (TTL): This prevents a packet from being caught in an infinite loop. The TTL is decreased by one by each router that handles the packet. If the TTL reaches zero, the packet is discarded.

  7. Protocol: This indicates the protocol of the data part of the IP packet. This could be TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.

  8. Header Checksum: This is used for error-checking of the header.

  9. Source IP Address: This is the IP address of the sender of the packet.

  10. Destination IP Address: This is the IP address to which the packet is being sent.

The header does not contain the message that needs to be transmitted to the receiving device, an explanation of how the port number will be processed by the receiving device, the destination's MAC address, or a string of data indicating that the data transmission is complete.
