Courses Plus Student 10,573 PointsServer Ping with iPhone
In terminal, I PING www.google.com and I can receive the following data.
64 bytes from 74.125.203.104: icmp_seq=28 ttl=46 time=11.837 ms
But how can I achieve this in iOS, because I need the "time" data, so I can decide which domain is faster for me.
I've searched on the Internet and download Apple's sample code "SimplePing", but to no avail.

Just a quick question so i can tailor my answer to exactly what you need. Do you need to perform this PING synchronously or async?

Courses Plus Student 10,573 PointsI think async is better for me. But Anyway, I only use that for deciding a faster domain.
Thank you in advance

Ive managed to get the SimplePing working from Apple, but I'm still a bit unsure how you want to implement this on iOS. Ill try to throw up an example for you if i can.

All I need is the time data ( time=11.837 ms ) for domain (ex. www.google.com). I've tried use SimplePing in my iOS project. But the delegate doesn't fire at all. And I thought the delegate method would give me what I want.
