Instead, it is the address of the sender’s client. Apparently, this field was meant to be used for analyzing the flow of requests through a hierarchy. In practice, it is always filled with 0’s. The variable-sized URL field should be terminated with a null byte.

SECHO is short for Source Echo. This opcode is used for ICP queries sent to the UDP echo service (port 7) of origin servers. If enabled, the origin server simply sends the unchanged packet right back to the cache. Thus, ICP_OP_SECHO is also an ICP reply opcode. The ...
