NAME
rds-ping - test reachability of remote node over RDS
SYNOPSIS
rds-ping [-c count] [-i interval] [-I
DESCRIPTION
rds-ping is used to test whether a remote node is reachable
over RDS. Its interface is designed to operate pretty much
the standard ping(1M) utility, even though the way it works
is pretty different.
rds-ping opens several RDS sockets and sends packets to port
0 on the indicated host. This is a special port number to
which no socket is bound; instead, the kernel processes
incoming packets and responds to them.
OPTIONS
The following options are available for use on the command
line:
-c count
Causes rds-ping to exit after sending (and receiving)
the specified number of packets.
-I address
By default, rds-ping will pick the local source
address for the RDS socket based on routing informa-
tion for the destination address (i.e. if packets to
the given destination would be routed through inter-
face ib0 , then it will use the IP address of ib0 as
source address). Using the option, you can override
this choice.
-i timeout
By default, rds-ping will wait for one second between
sending packets. Use this option to specified a dif-
ferent interval. The timeout value is given in sec-
onds, and can be a floating point number. Optionally,
append msec or usec to specify a timeout in millisec-
onds or microseconds, respectively.
Specifying a timeout considerably smaller than the
packet round-trip time will produce unexpected
results.
