[RTnet-developers] Determining the physical network by pinging under real time

[Glen W. <gl...@je...>]

Jan or RTNet developers,


We are planning to have a host DHCP server computer assigned ip address to a
number of our devices which are daisy chained together via an a 2 port
switch on each of our devices.

We would like our host DHCP server to be able to determine which of these ip
address is first in the chain and which is second which is third and so on.

MY question is if we were running a real time os and rtnet do you think it
is possible to ping each of the of the ip address and the measure the
average its time to takes to get a response and to be able to accurate
determine where in the chain each ip address it?

Each device is in the chain is the same hardware.
