So as long as you have the proper JNI code in place along with dynamic libraries for your target platforms, almost anything is possible in Java
Yep, Hard to disagree with that one, I guess should have mentioned
the Standard Java Library.

But being a Java programmer I did love the statement :-

Thanks for the information on raw sockets ~s.o.s~, All I had known was Java (the core networking APIs of Java) works with TCP/IP or UDP Sockets and that Ping works with ICMP, never knew why they couldn't mix.

Also when I read some material on Raw Sockets, I noticed that the packets arriving on them bypass the normal processing on the TCP/IP Protocol stack (by the kernel), So **I guess** we can actually drop down not only to the Network layer, but also access the Data Link Layer headers here.
Thanks again, discovered another new thing today and Sorry for hijacking your thread awo.
