But with a ping you do NOT check if the (TFTP) server is there. All you check if the host is up and running. Eventually there is no TFTP server running on it. > If the server is present, I'm happy to use relaxed timeouts for the > actual transfer. Then test with a short-timeout TFTP request, and if this fails becoause of other reasons than "server not responding" then retry with longer timeouts. Feel free to define your own policy. > But I'd like a quicker way of just checking whether I'm on the > "production test network" or in a user site in the field. I don't see why that would be not possible or even difficult with the current code.
