node-red-contrib-icmp

A set of icmp tools for Node-Red

Node usage:

icmp listen:

Node for listening of the icmp packets

  msg.icmp.received: outputs number of received bytes
  msg.icmp.source: outputs the address of the device that sent the packet
  msg.icmp.time: outputs the time the packet was received
  msg.icmp.message: outputs the message
  msg.icmp.received: outputs true

icmp send:

Node for sending icmp message

msg.address will override the Address field in the node setting!

msg.payload can contain a message to send to the address

Address or msg.address can be a domain!

  msg.icmp.address: outputs the address that was sent to.
  msg.icmp.message: outputs the message that was sent.
  msg.icmp.time: outputs the time the packet was received
  msg.icmp.ipv: outputs the type of address that was sent to.
  msg.icmp.sent: outputs true

Testing

While testing i noticed a behaviour that i completly forgot that could happen.

When i ping localhost , the listen nodes receives two pings back with completly same output.

I belive because the second message is the response that device sends back to the ping.Needs option to pass only one message.

When pinging other device inside my network there is the expected response back.
