10:33 <vicenteroca> Hi guys, I'm evaluationg Pony for a new project, and I need to be able to generate pings (ICMP packets). Do you thing is possible to do so using pony?

10:34 <vicenteroca> I don't see anything to do ICMP packets in the standard library. Thanks!

10:52 <vaninwagen> vicenteroca: yeah, there is nothing yet in the stdlib. it would either require a change to the runtime (libponyrt) to support creating raw sockets for icmp and to do it on-blocking and integrate with asio. for a quick PoC you could also create ICMP packets in a small c file that you use via C ffi.

10:53 <vaninwagen> vicenteroca: integrating it into the runtime would also require windows support.

10:54 <vaninwagen> vicenteroca: if you really need it, i would suggest to create a github issue on https://github.com/ponylang/ponyc/issues asking for that feature.

10:54 <vicenteroca> vaninwagen: Thank so much. I looked also for raw sockets, but I couldn't find anything.

10:54 <vicenteroca> Thanks for the info.
