Re: How to both send and receive in a Net::PcapUtils loop?

While it is possible to construct a PING packet, I would recommend using a canned method, like Net::Ping to send and receive the ping. This has a TCP ping option (the default).

If all you are looking for is Ping response time, Net::Ping can provide that info.

It would probably be best to do the Ping in a different thread, since it blocks, waiting on a response.

Thanks for the reply, I need more information than just the ping response time though... I'll look into putting the ping in a different thread, thanks.	[reply]
