The issued ping:

Answer 1

1. Ping (Program on the application layer) It sends an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) Echo Request to a specified interface on the network and, in response, it expects to receive an ICMP Echo Reply.
2. Opens a 'raw' socket to IP Layer.
3. IP layer (Layer 2 on OSI) packages ICMP packet and sends it

Since there is no TCP layer in between, the Ping (program) has to monitor all the incoming ICMP packets and filter only the one's from the destination.
