Internet Protocols

[RedXVII]

Im afraid i dont know much about packets and stuff. Basically, i want to be able to use a program to interact (or replicate) the ping protocol so that i can ping servers with it. Likewise with http, ftp and stuff.

Im geussing theres some kind of international standard for what the packet should consist of for each protocol. Where would I find such information?

Cheers  :U

RFC 791 - Internet
RFC 792 - ICMP
RFC 768 - UDP

or http://freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/index.htm

Hmmm, it looks kinda messy and slightly unitelligible; but i geuss it will do - just briefly glancing, it looks like the raw information is there.

By the way if you are targeting for windows xp and later you could use Icmp* api functions for pinging as it doesn't requires manually creating packets and basically does all the work.
