It can be used to determine the network delay +and whether or not the destination is up. +.PP +The options are: +.TP +.B n +requests that a total of +.I count +messages be sent, default 32. +.TP +.B i +sets the time between messages +to be +.I interval +milliseconds, default 1000 ms. +.TP +.B s +sets the length of the message to be +.I size +bytes, ICMP header included. +The size cannot be smaller than 32 or +larger than 8192. The default is +64. +.TP +.B d +causes message numbers to be printed +so that one can see the order with which +messages are received and which are lost. +.PP +.I Gping +is a +.I ping +with a graphical display. It +presents separate graphs for each destination +specified. +.PP +The options are: +.TP +.B r +display round trip time in seconds. +This is the default. +.TP +.B l +display percentage of lost messages. +A message is considered lost if not +replied to in 10 seconds. The percentage +is an exponentially weighted average. +.TP +.B i +sets the time between messages +to be +.I interval +milliseconds, default 5000 ms. +.PP +Graphs can be dropped and added using +the button 3 menu. Clicking button 1 +on a datapoint displays the value of the +datapoint and the time it was recorded. +.PP +.I Traceroute +displays the IP addresses and average round trip times to all +routers between the machine it is run on and +.IR dest . +It does this by sending packets to +.I dest +with increasing times to live (TTL) in their headers. +Each router that a packet expires at replies with an ICMP +warning message. +The options are: +.TP +.B d +print debugging to standard error +.TP +.B n +just print out IP numbers, don't try to +look up the names of the routers. +.TP +.B t +send +.I tries +packets at each TTL value (default 1). +.PP +.I Hogports +announces on a range of ports to keep them from other processes. +For example, to keep anyone from making a vncserver visible on +the network mounted at +.BR /net.alt : +.EX + + ip/hogports /net.alt/tcp!*!5900-5950 +.EE +.SH SOURCE +.B /sys/src/cmd/ip/ping.c +.br +.B /sys/src/cmd/ip/gping.c +.br +.B /sys/src/cmd/ip/traceroute.c +.br +.B /sys/src/cmd/ip/hogports.c |
