Re: [twsocket] Simultaneous TPing request using multithread.
ICS V8 supports FireMonkey (Windows and OS X), if you do not want to support it please no not add you contribution to ICS V8. And ping and icmp don't currently work on OS X anyway, they should not have been in the FireMonkey packages in the first place. Because I currently do not have the spare time to fix your contribution. If nobody has the time to support FireMonkey, it's support should be removed from ICS. We need to concentrate on platforms users actually care about.

Unless there's a cross-platform solution I think it's Ok to add ICMP to FireMonkey Windows only. Because I currently do not have the spare time to fix your contribution. If nobody has the time to support FireMonkey, it's support should be removed from ICS. I do have some time to maintain FireMonkey. However if I hit a revision that breaks a lot and I do not have the time to fix it at once I'll revert it back to a working revision. Today I fixed the issue and checked in your contribution. Basically a unit included in IcsCommonDXE3Run may neither use the VCL nor the FMX framework. And you added to OverbyteIcsIcmp.pas OverbyteIcsWSocket.pas. -- Arno -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] Simultaneous TPing request using multithread.
Today I fixed the issue and checked in your contribution. Thanks. Basically a unit included in IcsCommonDXE3Run may neither use the VCL nor the FMX framework. And you added to OverbyteIcsIcmp.pas OverbyteIcsWSocket.pas. Yes, because you added a lot of IPv6 helper functions to WSocket and it was more sensible to make use of tested shared code than continue to use duplicated WSocket code in those two units and have to expand it considerably. Unless there's a cross-platform solution I do plan to added a ping using raw sockets that should be cross platform, I've got a lot of the code in my raw socket monitoring component, although it needs expanding for IPv6 packets.

Re: [twsocket] Simultaneous TPing request using multithread.
Absolutely no issue :) I've already written such an application. Works either 32 bit or 64 bit. If you like I can let you have the application plus source code to help give you some ideas where to start.

My question is does ICS Ping component work out-the-box for this, or I need to modify the component and add some unique identifier to the data being sent?

Re: [twsocket] Simultaneous TPing request using multithread.
I need to build a network monitoring tool that will ping about a 1000 IP's on a regular basis, I plan to use Thread-Pool for this. I did a major rewrite of ICMP and Ping last month, including a new threaded ping component and a trace route demo that sends off lots of pings using threads. Unfortunately Arno decided it would not work on FireMonkey (about which probably very few care) and he removed it from SVN. Since I can not actually build the FireMonkey packages in XE3 which are undocumented, get too many silly errors, everything is on hold until I have sufficient spare time to try and reverse engineer his changes. I know there is an issue with doing simultaneous ICMP request because all the listening socket receive the reply and this create confusion. My older thread ping component has been sending dozens of simultaneous requests for 10 years without any issues.

Oh come on, you do have the source, nothing to reverse engineer, simply read and get the source.
