ICMPPort Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The ICMPPort module is used to facilitate ICMP communications. It can act both as a client and a server and communicate with any number of hosts simultaneously, as well as generate and receive broadcast packets.

Syntax

IPWorks.Icmpport

Remarks

The interface of the class is similar to the interface of IPPort, only much simpler. The class is activated/deactivated by using the Active property. This property enables or disables sends or receives. Data can be sent in the same way as IPPort, using the Send method and Text parameter or the DataToSend property. The destination is specified using the RemoteHost property. The class automatically creates an ICMP header containing MessageType, MessageSubType, and a checksum for the message.

If the UseConnection config setting is set to True, then a local association is created with the remote host. Otherwise, the class can receive datagrams (packets) from any host, and send datagrams to any host. Packets can be broadcast on the local net by setting the destination to 255.255.255.255.

Inbound data is received through the DataIn event.

The operation of the class is almost completely asynchronous. All the calls, except the ones that deal with domain name resolution, operate through Windows messages (no blocking calls). The gain in performance is considerable when compared to using blocking calls.

AcceptData Property (ICMPPort Module)

Enables or disables data reception (the DataIn event).

Syntax

public var acceptData: Bool {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=acceptData,setter=setAcceptData:) BOOL acceptData;

- (BOOL)acceptData;
- (void)setAcceptData :(BOOL)newAcceptData;

Default Value

True

Remarks

This property enables or disables data reception (the DataIn event). Setting this property to False, temporarily disables data reception (and the DataIn event). Setting this property to True, re-enables data reception.

Note: It is recommended to use the PauseData or ProcessData method instead of setting this property.

Active Property (ICMPPort Module)

Enables or disables sending and receiving of data.

Syntax

public var active: Bool {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=active,setter=setActive:) BOOL active;

- (BOOL)active;
- (void)setActive :(BOOL)newActive;

Default Value

False

Remarks

Setting this property to True makes the class create a communication endpoint (socket) which can be used for sending and receiving ICMP messages. Setting it to False destroys the socket and disables data communications.

If the UseConnection config setting is set to True, then a local association (connection) to the remote host is also created.

Note: It is recommended to use the Activate or Deactivate method instead of setting this property.

DontRoute Property (ICMPPort Module)

If set to True, it forces the socket to send data directly to interface (no routing).

Syntax

public var dontRoute: Bool {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=dontRoute,setter=setDontRoute:) BOOL dontRoute;

- (BOOL)dontRoute;
- (void)setDontRoute :(BOOL)newDontRoute;

Default Value

False

Remarks

If this property is set to True, it forces the socket to send data directly to interface (no routing). Normally IP sockets send packets of data through routers and gateways until they reach the final destination. If this property is set to True, then data will be delivered on the local subnet only.

LocalHost Property (ICMPPort Module)

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

Syntax

public var localHost: String {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=localHost,setter=setLocalHost:) NSString* localHost;

- (NSString*)localHost;
- (void)setLocalHost :(NSString*)newLocalHost;

Default Value

""

Remarks

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

MessageSubType Property (ICMPPort Module)

The subtype of the ICMP message (part of the ICMP header).

Syntax

public var messageSubType: Int32 {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageSubType,setter=setMessageSubType:) int messageSubType;

- (int)messageSubType;
- (void)setMessageSubType :(int)newMessageSubType;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property contains the subtype of the ICMP message (part of the ICMP header). The ICMP message subtype (also referred to as 'code') is a byte value representing the message subclass. Its meaning is associated with the MessageType.

Types and subtypes for ICMP messages are defined in the various internet RFCs and other documentation associated with TCP/IP.

MessageType Property (ICMPPort Module)

The type of the ICMP message (part of the ICMP header).

Syntax

public var messageType: Int32 {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=messageType,setter=setMessageType:) int messageType;

- (int)messageType;
- (void)setMessageType :(int)newMessageType;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property contains the type of the ICMP message (part of the ICMP header). The ICMP message type is a byte value representing the message class. The message type defines the structure and meaning of the message data assigned to DataToSend.

Types for ICMP messages are defined in the various internet RFCs and other documentation associated with TCP/IP. The following are a few examples of ICMP message types:

0 Echo reply ('ping' reply).
3 Destination unreachable.
4 Source quench.
5 Redirect (change a route).
8 Echo request ('ping' request).
11 Time exceeded for datagram.
12 Parameter problem on datagram.
13 Timestamp request.
14 Timestamp reply.
17 Address mask request.
18 Address mask reply.

RemoteHost Property (ICMPPort Module)

The address of the RemoteHost. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

public var remoteHost: String {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=remoteHost,setter=setRemoteHost:) NSString* remoteHost;

- (NSString*)remoteHost;
- (void)setRemoteHost :(NSString*)newRemoteHost;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the remote host.

If this property is set to 255.255.255.255, the class broadcasts data on the local subnet.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the class .

If UseConnection is True, this property must be set before the class is activated (Active is set to True).

Timeout Property (ICMPPort Module)

A timeout for the module.

Syntax

public var timeout: Int32 {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

0

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations return immediately, potentially failing with an 'WOULDBLOCK' error if data can't be sent or received immediately.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will automatically retry each operation that would otherwise result in a 'WOULDBLOCK' error for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 0 (asynchronous operation).

TimeToLive Property (ICMPPort Module)

The time to live (TTL) value for the ICMP packets sent by the module.

Syntax

public var timeToLive: Int32 {

get {...}
set {...} }

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeToLive,setter=setTimeToLive:) int timeToLive;

- (int)timeToLive;
- (void)setTimeToLive :(int)newTimeToLive;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This method contains the Time-To-Live (TTL) value for the ICMP packets sent by the class. The Time-to-Live (TTL) field of the ICMP packet is a counter limiting the lifetime of a packet.

Each router (or other module) that handles a packet decrements the TTL field by one or more if it holds the packet for more than one second, thus the TTL is effectively a hop count limit on how far a datagram can propagate through the Internet. When the TTL is reduced to zero (or less), the packet is discarded.

If the value of the property is set to 0, then the default TTL value of the underlying TCP/IP subsystem will be used.

Activate Method (ICMPPort Module)

Enables sending and receiving of data.

Syntax

public func activate() throws -> Void
- (void)activate;

Remarks

This method enables sending and receiving of data. When called the class will create a communication endpoint (socket) which can be used for sending and receiving ICMP messages. This method must be called before using the class to send and receive data.

If the UseConnection configuration setting is set to , then a local association (connection) to the remote host is also created.

Config Method (ICMPPort Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String
- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Deactivate Method (ICMPPort Module)

Disables sending and receive of data.

Syntax

public func deactivate() throws -> Void
- (void)deactivate;

Remarks

This method disables sending and receiving of data. When called the class will destroy the existing socket and disable data communications.

DoEvents Method (ICMPPort Module)

Processes events from the internal message queue.

Syntax

public func doEvents() throws -> Void
- (void)doEvents;

Remarks

When DoEvents is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

PauseData Method (ICMPPort Module)

Pauses data reception.

Syntax

public func pauseData() throws -> Void
- (void)pauseData;

Remarks

This method pauses data reception when called. While data reception is paused the DataIn event will not fire. Call ProcessData to re-enable data reception.

ProcessData Method (ICMPPort Module)

Re-enables data reception after a call to PauseData .

Syntax

public func processData() throws -> Void
- (void)processData;

Remarks

This method re-enables data reception after a previous call to PauseData. When PauseData is called the DataIn event will not fire. To re-enable data reception and allow DataIn to fire call this method.

Note: This method is only used after previously calling PauseData. It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

Reset Method (ICMPPort Module)

Reset the component.

Syntax

public func reset() throws -> Void
- (void)reset;

Remarks

This method will reset the class's properties to their default values.

ResolveRemoteHost Method (ICMPPort Module)

Resolves the hostname in RemoteHost to an IP address.

Syntax

public func resolveRemoteHost() throws -> Void
- (void)resolveRemoteHost;

Remarks

This method resolves the hostname specified by RemoteHost to an IP address. The resolved value is available in the RemoteHost property after this method returns.

In most cases calling this method is not necessary, the class will resolve the hostname automatically when necessary. If DelayHostResolution is this method may be called to manually resolve RemoteHost if desired.

Send Method (ICMPPort Module)

Sends data to the remote host.

Syntax

public func send(text: Data) throws -> Void
- (void)send:(NSData*)text;

Remarks

This method sends data to the remote host. Calling this method is equivalent to setting the DataToSend property to Text.

SendBytes Method (ICMPPort Module)

Sends data to the remote host.

Syntax

public func sendBytes(data: Data) throws -> Void
- (void)sendBytes:(NSData*)data;

Remarks

This method sends data to the remote host. Calling this method is equivalent to call SendBytes/SendText method.

SendText Method (ICMPPort Module)

Sends data to the remote host.

Syntax

public func sendText(text: String) throws -> Void
- (void)sendText:(NSString*)text;

Remarks

This method sends data to the remote host. Calling this method is equivalent to call SendBytes/SendText method.

DataIn Event (ICMPPort Module)

Fired when new ICMP messages come in.

Syntax

func onDataIn(messageType: Int32, messageSubType: Int32, messageData: Data, checksum: Int32, sourceAddress: String)
- (void)onDataIn:(int)messageType :(int)messageSubType :(NSData*)messageData :(int)checksum :(NSString*)sourceAddress;

Remarks

The MessageType parameter shows the type of the ICMP messages and MessageSubType its subtype.

The MessageData parameter contains the message data.

The Checksum parameter is True or False depending on the ICMP checksum check on the message.

Note that events are not re-entrant. Performing time consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may impact overall performance.

Error Event (ICMPPort Module)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)
- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class .

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ReadyToSend Event (ICMPPort Module)

Fired when the component is ready to send data.

Syntax

func onReadyToSend()
- (void)onReadyToSend;

Remarks

The ReadyToSend event indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed DataToSend.

Configuration Settings (ICMPPort Module)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

ICMPPort Configuration Settings

DelayHostResolution:   Whether the hostname is resolved when RemoteHost is set.

This setting specifies whether a hostname is resolved immediately when RemoteHost is set. If the class will resolve the hostname and the IP address will be present in the RemoteHost property. If , the hostname is not resolved until needed by the component when a method to connect or send data is called. If desired, ResolveRemoteHost may called to manually resolve the value in RemoteHost at any time.

The default value is .

DontFragment:   Whether the DontFragment control flag is set.

When set to true the DontFragment control flag in the IP header will be set.

The default value is false.

IcmpDllTimeout:   The timeout for the class when using the icmp.dll.

The class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control. If IcmpDllTimeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class . IcmpDllTimeout must be set to a positive value.

The default value for IcmpDllTimeout is 60 seconds.

NOTE: This setting is only valid when UseICMPDLL is set to true.

MaxMessageSize:   The maximum length of the messages that can be received.

This setting specifies the maximum size of the datagrams that the class will accept without truncation.

MulticastTTL:   The time to live (TTL) value for multicast ICMP packets sent by the component.

When sending multicast packets, the setting specifies the Time-To-Live (TTL) field. The Time-to-live (TTL) field of the ICMP packet is a counter limiting the lifetime of a packet.

Each router (or other module) that handles a packet decrements the TTL field by one or more if it holds the packet for more than one second, thus the TTL is effectively a hop count limit on how far a datagram can propagate through the Internet. When the TTL is reduced to zero (or less), the packet is discarded.

By default, the default TTL value of the underlying TCP/IP subsystem will be used.

ReceiveAllMode:   Enables a socket to receive all IPv4 or IPv6 packets on the network.

This setting specifies the ReceiveAll mode for the socket. Available modes:

ValueDescription
-1 (default)The socket option is left unspecified.
0Do not receive all network traffic.
1Receive all network traffic. This enables promiscuous mode on the network interface card (NIC). On a LAN segment with a network hub, a NIC that supports promiscuous mode will capture all IPv4 or IPv6 traffic on the LAN, including traffic between other computers on the same LAN segment.
2Receive only socket-level network traffic (Feature may not be implemented by your Windows installation).
3Receive only IP level network traffic. This option does not enable promiscuous mode on the network interface card. This option only affects packet processing at the IP level. The NIC still receives only packets directed to its configured unicast and multicast addresses. However, a socket with this option enabled will receive not only packets directed to specific IP addresses, but will receive all the IPv4 or IPv6 packets the NIC receives.

TimeoutInMilliseconds:   The timeout is treated as milliseconds.

Setting TimeoutInMilliseconds to true causes the class to use the value in the IcmpDllTimeout config as milliseconds instead of seconds, which is the default.

NOTE: This setting is only valid when UseICMPDLL is set to true.

UseConnection:   Determines whether to use a connected socket.

UseConnection specifies whether the class should use a connected socket or not. The connection is defined as an association in between the local address/port and the remote address/port. As such, this is not a connection in the traditional TCP sense. What it means is only that the class will send and receive data only to and from the specified destination.

The default value for this setting is False.

UseICMPDLL:   Use the icmp.dll included on Windows Systems.

Setting UseICMPDLL to true causes the class to use the icmp.dll on Windows 9x or later machines. This sometimes enables access to raw sockets when permissions for standard operations are prohibited.

UseIPHLPDLL:   Use the iphlpapi.dll included on Windows Systems.

Setting UseIPHLPDLL to true causes the class to use the iphlpapi.dll on Windows XP or later machines. This sometimes enables access to raw sockets when permissions for standard operations are prohibited. Note that if both this and UseICMPDLL are enabled, the iphlpapi.dll will take precedence.

UseIPv6:   Whether to use IPv6.

When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively. When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0. Possible values are:

0 IPv4 Only
1 IPv6 Only
2 IPv6 with IPv4 fallback

Socket Configuration Settings

AbsoluteTimeout:   Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.

If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports.

FirewallData:   Used to send extra data to the firewall.

When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).

InBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize:   The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.

This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Configuration Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

By default the class will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API.
