Layer 2 'Ping' |
|
|
Hello,
I'd like to write a small connectivity utility which will
_craft_ then _pack_ and _send_ an ethernet frame.
First: Im using MSWin32
Second: Is there already a utility for sending a Layer 2 'ping'
without a TCP/IP stack loaded?
Third: Can the DL-DATA-ACK function be utilized for this?
Fourth: I'd like to use Perl for this, but ive had some trouble
finding an appropriate 'module' to accomplish this. |

Have a look at http://freshmeat.net/projects/arping/

On either freshmeat or sourceforge, there is a "linkloop" project that
is a linux implementation of the HP-UX linkloop functionality. It is
a layer two "ping" utility that has been in use on HP-UX for years and
years. If you license sutiably, you could leverage that port for your
needs, and have some decent assurance of interoperability with at
least two other platforms :)
