Name: rm29839 Date: 11/18/97 Since it is very nasty trying to add this ourselves, please add an API to the ICMP protocol so we can ping and traceroute, etc from Java applets (Review ID: 20054) ====================================================================== Name: krT82822 Date: 09/06/99 I want to create a distributed network resource management tool using Java and CORBA. I require the ability to discover the topology of a network. Current methods use DNS, ICMP and SNMP. ICMP is part of IP datagram. There is no ability to modify IP packets or use raw sockets in Java. I have encountered many programmers who wish that tools such as ping and traceroute can be implemented in pure Java, thus making it trully portable and also to give the desired/correct results. 6 Sep 99 eval1127@eng -- see bug # 4204320, 4093850, 4156236, 4140503 (and probably others) (Review ID: 94915) ====================================================================== Name: rlT66838 Date: 11/12/99 java version "1.2.2" Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-W, native threads, symcjit) We absolutely need some sort of ICMP and TCP packet access from java.net.* Without this, it is *impossible* to write any non-trivial network monitoring, control or reporting application. If I need to monitor machines on my network to see if they are up or the network status/saturation, well, I cannot do this without ICMP. This is a major major drawback with java.net.* Why not just add this support with the appropriate security permissions ? There is NO reason why an application, in java, cannot access ICMP. More and more network tools, servers etc are written in java. Without support for just a core function, these tools are never going to be anything else than toy applications.
