Mohammeds,

keep in mind that the The IP datagram begins at byte 14, which means that
the *IP Header* also starts at byte 14. as shown below
   MAC Destination Address (0-5, 6 bytes) MAC Source Address (6-11, 6
bytes)

Ethernet Type Field (12-13, 2 bytes)

AFAIK by default it sends with a default data size of 32 bytes (echo
Data)-> not real Data!

this implies that the router " should" be able to process your packet and
generate and ICMP echo Reply to you.
