aspNetPing allows you to effortless enable your applications to send Internet
Control Message Protocol (Ping/ICMP) packets in .NET. Programmatically ping a
remote server, host, route, or any network device to see if it is up.
aspNetPing fully supports RFC 792 standard.
More Information
aspNetPing is physically located in the aspNetDns.dll and is combined with the
additional following components
aspNetDns - a complete .DNS Lookup
component.
aspNetPing - a complete ICMP/Ping
component.
aspNetTraceRoute - a complete
TraceRoute component
aspNetWhois - a complete Whois lookup
component.
aspNetPing provides the following classes to effortlessly and easily
programmatically ICMP enable your .NET applications.
IcmpPacket
IcmpClient
ReplyPacket
ReplyPacketCollection
IcmpPacket
The IcmpPacket class is the basis of aspNetPing. It is builds a binary ICMP
packet that is sent by the IcmpClient.
IcmpClient
The IcmpClient class is a networking class that sends and receives IcmpPackets
and ReplyPackets respectively. Using the IcmpClient class, you can also send
asynchronous pings, and ping indefinitely and receive the results in an event
driven model.
ReplyPacket
Built upon the IcmpPacket class, the ReplyPacket class parses ICMP packet
replies. aspNetPing categorizes each IcmpPacket into one of the following
types, to allow you to troubleshoot network connectivity issues:
-
EchoReply
-
DestinationUnreachable
-
SourceQuench
-
Redirect
-
EchoRequest
-
TimeExceeded
-
ParameterProblem
-
TimestampRequest
-
TimestampReply
-
InformationRequest
-
InformationReply
Along with each type, aspNetPing also checks codes each packet with one of the
following
-
NetworkUnreachable
-
HostUnreachable
-
ProtocolUnreachable
-
PortUnreachable
-
Fragmentation
-
SourceRouteFailed
-
DestinationNetworkUnknown
-
DestinationHostUnknown
-
SourceHostIsolated
-
NetworkCommunicationProhibited
-
HostCommunicationProhibited
-
NetworkUnreachableForType
-
HostUnreachableForType
ReplyPacketCollection
The ReplyPacketCollection is a strongly typed collection of ReplyPackets. The
ReplyPacketCollection allows the developer to easily query the success of a
ping, and can store the results in a
DataTable for easy databinding. The ReplyPacketCollection also exposes
easy to use properties such as
ReceivedCount
The number of packets received.
TimedOutCount
The number of packets that timed out.
MinMS
Minimum milliseconds (shortest time) a packet was received.
MaxMS
Maximum millisends (maximum time) a packet was received.
AveMS
Average time in milliseconds that a packet was received
PercentLost
The percent of packets lost.
