Hi,
I need to design a heartbeat mechanism between our Router and a 3rd party device, that supports IP stack.
The intent is to develop software that monitor the general health of the box by receiving/ and or sending regular keepalives.
What is the best way to approach this problem ? Any standard protocol that would enable me to hook into ? [ with least processing & most efficiency] .
Worst case, the SNMP mibs at the 3rd part device could be polled periodically . [but this is not performance friendly]
Thanks,
Voreniza
