Which Protocol do I use, when 'Pinging a server'?

I am going to set up a Server status area on our companys website (sits on server A), the PERL coding will PING two other servers (server B & C) to see their currently status every 5 mins. What Protocol do I use and why?

Which Protocol's: TCP, UDP, ICMP, STREAM, SYN or EXTERNAL. And Why?

Also for your info, I will be creating a CSV file to store the status of the two servers (i.e. not sure if this is only used by a specific protocol).

Hi again Patel,

I've already addressed the CSV file question in your other thread. Concerning which ping protocol of Net::Ping, the quick answer is I don't know.

My advice would be to stick with default and see if that works. If it doesn't try others. My expectation would be that the TCP default will work fine.

I want to be able to broadcast messages to this server from visual basic. The server may be running on a mchine with no IP address, but a network link. I cannot seem to set the protocol of the socket. I have defined "Private Const ETH_P_DISCO As ProtocolType = &H88AD" same as in my server...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
