    Is it possible to ping a port? like pinging an IP address + port. Although I created an application that does this but it is inefficient and slow because I try to access a certain port using a try-catch block....

      No. You cannot ping a port, just the IP address.

      That's about the only way to find out if a server is listening on said port.
