Recently at work I came across the IMCP protocol - Internet Message
Control Protocol, unlike ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol.
Googling 'IMCP' did not provide much . Could someone provide some
pointers to a site where I could get a good overview of this? Thanks
in advance for your .

My recommendation in these cases is to go right to the RFC listing.

http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt

The basic ICMP description is in RFC 792, and it is amplified in two
other RFCs.

To read the RFCs, you go to

http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html

and simply type in the RFC number. Mostly, they are very readable and
they usually explain clearly why they designed the protocol as they did.

But which RFC describes IMCP? I.e. what part of "*NOT* ICMP" was hard
to understand?

Do you have some more context for this protocol? I've never heard of
it. There's an IPCP in PPP, ICCP used by power companies, and IFCP is
for the fiber-channel version of iSCSI. That's all that comes to mind
for protocols in the IxCP pattern...

My guess the same as Google's answer to
http://www.google.com/search?q=IMCP+...ol+Protocol%22
That is to ask
Did you mean: ICMP "Internet Message Control Protocol"
and then give a bunch of hits that look like typos of IMCP for ICMP.
