Ping is completely ICMP. Traceroute, in almost everyone's
implementation except Microsoft, is half UDP and half ICMP.

In the example below, I've skipped repeated sends in the interest of clarity.

     Ping Traceroute

1. Send ICMP Echo Request 1. Start with UDP packet with a high,
                                       undefined port and TTL=1.

2. Receive ICMP Echo Reply from 2. Receive ICMP TTL Expired from first hop
    destination

                                    3. Send UDP packet with a high,
                                       undefined port and TTL=2.

                                    4. Receive ICMP TTL Expired from 2nd hop

                                       ...continue,increasing TTL
