The SfbIcmp .NET class library is a collection of managed code classes that simplify the task of developing TCP/IP networking applications working with the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) in Visual Studio .NET using any of the available programming languages such as Visual Basic and C#. The library offers the flexibility, ease of use and rapid development features of a component without the complexities of working with the native socket class or in-depth knowledge of how the Internet Control Message Protocol are implemented.

With the EchoClient class, you can easily send echo requests using your own data, receive the echo reply message, show and check it. The class is well designed to help you quickly working with the ICMP in either synchronous or asynchronous mode with a few lines of code.

A number of classes representing the ICMP messages are encapsulated in the SfbIcmp .NET library and they are:

• EchoMessage
• EchoReplyMessage
• InformationReplyMessage
• InformationRequestMessage
• TimeExceededMessage
• TimestampMessage
• TimestampReplyMessage
• DestinationUnreachableMessage
• ParameterProblemMessage
• RedirectMessage
• SourceQuenchMessage
