5290.0. "Looking for a TCP/IP poller" by DIEHRD::SUCONICK () Thu Jul 01 1993 12:04

    
        I am looking for a TCP/IP reachability poller on VMS. This is to be
        incorporated into existing address management tool that currently
        tracks DECnet addresses. Any pointers to source code would be
        appreciated.
    
        Irina.

5290.2IP poller location in V1.3CUJO::HILLDan Hill-Net.Mgt.-Customer ResidentFri Jul 02 1993 03:0220
    The IP poller can be enabled via the "Applications" pulldown menu of
    the map window.  
    
    I suggest you use a poll period with several retries since Rahul has
    recently noticed problem with recieve buffer size.  (A new image is
    being tested and will for inclusion in the MUP.)
    
    This works quite well for a busy network and polling 225+ entities:
    
    	Poll period = 90 seconds
    	Retries     = 6
    	Timeout     = 5
    
    I get only one "drop" in about a thousand.
    
    Please do not bother Rahul for the new image.  The MUP should be out
    soon and this is a good work around.
    
    Thanks,
    Dan

	I think Irina actually wants the sources for the IP poller. I have
	already sent her a pointer.
