Abstract
A system and method for collecting operational data is defined. An input list is provided. While there are more destinations left in the input list, the next specification is read, that ping is performed while its performance is timed (described in more detail below), and, the measurements are written to a data log. The logic of the measurement for a given destination and a set of global defaults is performed by the steps of: parsing the specification into its constituent parts; setting up the transaction request message; creating a TCP/IP socket and setting up input/output access to it; sending a 'ping' to the destination; noting the timestamp for that ping transmission; waiting for a reply from the ping; noting the timestamp for that reply when it arrives; and calculating the time taken from transmit to reply. The socket and server connection can then be closed.
