Whats the best way to use the ICMP packages to monitoring network

Julian

Hello comunity.

I try to do a software which sense host response, latency, jitter and package lost. For that I used ICMP packages but the way I found to use it is:

 state=system(QString::string.toUtf8());

where string = "ping" + hostIP

The problem here is that the system call make a console windows open for every ping. How can I make the ping without the software open console? I think that the same problem I'd have if I use QProcess because I have to call cmd and then pass the argument ping+hostip

Can I use Raw socket on Qt?

Thanks all in advance.

Hi,

No, you won't have that problem with Process.

You can use whatever C++ libraries you want with Qt.
