.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The

|
|
|
|
.Nm ether_echo
|
|
|
|
|
node type reflects all data and control messages back to the sender.
|
|
|
|
|
It assumes (and does not check) that the packet is an ethernet frame,
|
2008-12-25 07:34:14 +00:00
|
|
|
and swaps the source and destination addresses before echoing it.
|
2008-12-25 00:01:29 +00:00
|
|
|
This node type is used for testing and debugging.

|
as long as the name is unique.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
|
|
|
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
|
|
|

|
This node shuts down upon receipt of a
|
|
|
|
