SkICMP ActiveX Control

SkICMP ActiveX Control provides you with a complete and very effective ICMP (Ping and Traceroute) ActiveX control which is created for network diagnosing, troubleshooting, and monitoring. SkICMP ActiveX Control can be used from any 32-bit Windows development environment, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Delphi. It is fully compliant with RFC 792.

SkICMP ActiveX Control is capable of processing multiple Ping and/or multiple Traceroute requests simultaneously. It is loaded with extra features for software developers. For instance, it allows to store a list of the remote machines to be monitored and can provide real-time information about their availability.

So, if instead of making a call to instantiate a remote object, the component should call SkICMP ActiveX Control first and get back the host address, or IP address, of the first available remote machine, and than try to access it. This list can be maintained from the application itself, so the software developer doesn't need to do anything one that list is reconfigured. SkICMP ActiveX Control comes with complete documentation, sample code, and working demo programs.
