[p2p-hackers] ICMP on Win32

[David Barrett]

Does anyone here have experience receiving ICMP feedback for UDP packets on
Win32?

 

I don't know much about the topic (and am wondering if anyone who does know
can tell me whether it's worth learning), but I'm interested in learning
about UDP delivery failures, network congestion, timeouts, and so on.

 

However, I've read it requires the use of "raw" sockets, which I've
elsewhere read are being slowly prohibited - I think started with WinXP SP2.

 

Anyway, can you recommend any good resources?  My ultimate goal is to weave
this into my reliable UDP layer, but I'd like to hear from those who have
gone before to see if it's worth the bother.
