aecho - send AppleTalk Echo Protocol packets to network hosts
Contents
Description
aecho repeatedly sends an Apple Echo Protocol (AEP) packet to the host specified by the given AppleTalk
address or nbpname and reports whether a reply was received. Requests are sent at the rate of one per
second.
address is parsed by atalk_aton(3). nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3). The nbp type defaults to
`Workstation'.
When aecho is terminated, it reports the number of packets sent, the number of responses received, and
the percentage of packets lost. If any responses were received, the minimum, average, and maximum round
trip times are reported.
Example
Check to see if a particular host is up and responding to AEP packets:
