Overview
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is commonly used to
determine if a remote host is reachable and how packets of data are
routed to that system. Users are most familiar with this protocol
as it is implemented in the ping and traceroute command line
utilities. The ping command is used to check if a system is
reachable and the amount of time that it takes for a packet of data
to make a round trip from the local system, to the remote host and
then back again. The traceroute command is used to trace the route
that a packet of data takes from the local system to the remote
host, and can be used to identify potential problems with overall
throughput and latency. The library can be used to build in this
type of functionality in your own applications, giving you the
ability to send and receive ICMP echo datagrams in order to perform
your own analysis.
Requirements
The SocketTools Library Edition libraries are compatible with
any programming language that supports calling functions exported
from a standard dynamic link library (DLL). If you are using Visual
C++ 6.0 it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6)
installed. It is recommended that you install all updates for your
development tools and have the current Windows SDK installed.
This library is supported on Windows XP, Windows Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. If you are using
Windows XP, it is required that you have Service Pack 3 (SP3)
installed. It is recommended that all service packs and critical
updates to the Windows operating system be installed.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the latest 64-bit version of Windows XP
Professional, Windows Server 2003 or later versions of the Windows
operating system.
Distribution
When you distribute your application that uses this library, it
is recommended that you install the file in the same folder as your
application executable. If you install the library into a shared
location on the system, it is important that you distribute the
correct version for the target platform and it should be registered
as a shared DLL. This is a standard Windows dynamic link library,
not an ActiveX component, and does not require COM
registration.
