Ping will not work. Some firewalls will prevent ICMP packets to and or from a source. If this library is to be used universally, you need a better method to determine if a device is responding on a known port.
The tried and true method for doing this is telnet. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided NOT to enable the telnet client on Windows 8 and above. It has to be enabled by an end user. If you can create your own telnet stack, then it's doable. telnet <ipaddress> <portnumber> check the result.
