hi guys,
now a days i am doing a bit of network coding,
In hospital every bed has a patient monitoring system and all the systems r in a local network
"every system should know what all other systems r present in the network"

how to write a code so that every system can detect the presence of other system.

What about scanning on startup of each patient monitoring system the local network by nmap for example, so then you can get as a result a list of active systems in the network. I'm not sure if this this what you need

ping to each other......

Faizsir it's normal that when we are scanning network we probably will use the ping. Nmap is using the 'ping sweep' method, like fping for instance, to decide which hosts are up or down using multiple ICMP echo requests.

Hi,

In such cases, it is better to have your custom server/client on all the systems. So that they can broadcast some tokens to all the other systems on the same network. From the tokens received, other systems can infer the presence.
