/*
 * osptnprobe.h - structures and prototypes for functions that probe
 *             response time to different systems
 */
/*
 * To call OSPPTNProbe, fill in the ospmipaddr field of an array of OSPT_TN_PROBE
 * structures and indicating the size of the array. The function will
 * return by filling in the ospmTime field for each element with the
 * number of milliseconds the system took to respond to a message sent
 * to its echo/udp service.
 *
 * The uMaxWait parameter indicates the maximum number of milliseconds
 * to wait before giving up.
 *
 * The function works by sending a small UDP datagram to each remote
 * host and measuring the time that elapses until the reply. There
 * are advantages and disadvantages to this approach:
 *
 * Good:
 *   -  cleaner, easier to port code (compared to ICMP echo)
 *   -  closer simulation of voice traffic (which uses RTP/UDP)
 *      especially since many routers will treat ICMP special
 *
 * Bad:
 *   -  not all hosts (e.g. WinNT 4.0) automatically install
 *      deamons on the echo port (for WinNT 4.0, it's part of
 *      the optionally installed Simple TCP/IP Services)
 *
 * Enhancements:
 *   -  currently, the function only sends a single datagram to each
 *      host. With next hop caching in routers, as well as problems
 *      sending back-to-back packets in some OSs (e.g. Win95), it
 *      might be better to send several datagrams to each host,
 *      ignore the first reply (which establishes the routers' caches),
 *      and average the remainder.
