What exactly are in the packets that are sent via the ping command?

I was reading a Wikipedia article about magic numbers and saw this:

DHCP packets use a "magic cookie" value of '63 82 53 63' at the start of the options section of the packet. This value is included in all DHCP packet types.

so what else is in the packets?
