Ping function

Open internet-conception opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

Hello,

First, let me thank you for your formidable library !

Could you add a ping function ? I tried to use "icmp ping" from Blake Foster. But it seems that it only work with the stock ethernet library...

So I'm just looking for a function returning true or false after a ping test on a local IP.

Thank's again, bye, Ded

icmp ping from Blake Foster directly talks to the W5100-chip that sit's on the stock ethernet-shield. That's why it ain't run with UIPEthernet. As the uip-stack from Adam Dunkels that is used within UIPEthernet does not implement generation of icmp-packets this part would have to be written 'from scratch'. I currently do not have the resources (in terms of time) to do so, but you are wellcome to contribute

"Enhancement"

Ping, or the ability to detect link state is absolutely essential.
