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 which 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. You should
install all updates for your development tools and have the current
Windows SDK installed. The minimum recommended version of Visual Studio
is Visual Studio 2010.
This library is supported on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
later versions of the desktop and server platforms. If you are using
Windows 7, you must have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as a minimum
requirement. It is recommended that you install the current service
pack and all critical updates available for your version of the
operating system.
This product includes both 32-bit and 64-bit libraries. Native
64-bit CPU support requires the 64-bit version of Windows 7 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.
