Ping an IP address from VB.NET

Is there a way to ping an IP address from VB.NET and store the response times?

Thanks

you may use System.Net.NetworkInformation
just look at the documentation thanks!

The response times from ICMP request are not a good measure of responsiveness, unless the network you are measuring is mostly idle. Most routers prioritize ICMP traffic at the lowest priority.

What are you really trying to do?

Ideally I wanted to be able to extract IP Service Level Agreement results from Cisco devices but that involves MIBs..etc which I don't know how to use.

I am making a simulation network tool that pings remote Cisco devices over a WAN and stores the response times so that latency data can be viewed in a table or graph and makes it easy to see if a site is having performance issues.

Thanks

Doesn't Cisco provide tools for that? Also, have a look at "The Dude" http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Dude_u...at_is_the_Dude

Do you know what the tools are that Cisco provide for this and how I can integrate them into my VB.NET program?
