    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

    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?

    Re: Ping an IP address from VB.NET

    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?
