RE: PING: Adventures in Socket programming using System.Net

I always find this kind of interesting

After a long hiatus, I am back to posing to my blog. I am going to start out with a series on Socket programming.

In this series, I will show you how to implement a simple Ping client using classes from the [System.Net.Sockets ](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemnetsockets.asp) namespace. It should be an exciting journey.

For starters, you can familiarize yourself with the RFC for ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) which is the protocol used by the PING client. The RFC for that is here: ([http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0792.txt](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0792.txt)).

Until next time,

Cheers.

I always have wanted to create a ping client in .Net but never got around to it. There was no particular reason why I wanted to create a ping client, I just always thought it would be quite cool. Anyway, watch out on [Feroze Daud's WebLog](http://blogs.msdn.com/feroze_daud/default.aspx).

I lead the Chrome Developer Relations team at Google.

We want people to have the best experience possible on the web without having to install a native app or produce content in a walled garden.

Our team tries to make it easier for developers to build on the web by supporting every Chrome release, creating great content to support developers on web.dev, contributing to MDN, helping to improve browser compatibility, and some of the best developer tools like Lighthouse, Workbox, Squoosh to name just a few.

I love to learn about what you are building, and how I can help with Chrome or Web development in general, so if you want to chat with me directly, please feel free to book a consultation.
