This package contains a UDP echo server and client. Both the client and the
server support RFC 862 (default) and support TR-143 UDPEchoPlus if passed the
--echoplus flag.
- GNU GCC 4.2.1/Clang 13.0.0
- GNU Make 3.81
- GNU Libtool 2.4
- GNU Autoconf 2.69

- Git 1.7.2.3
akcom-udpecho is a shell utility for testing UDP echo servers. akcom-udpecho supports for RFC 862 compliant servers and TR-143 UDPEchoPlus compliant servers. If the UDP Echo variant is not specified, akcom-udpecho will attempt to determine the variant by examining the TestRespSN, TestRespRecvTimeStamp, and TestRespReplyTimeStamp fields of the UDPEchoPlus packet for non-zero values.
akcom-udpecho usage:
Usage: akcom-udpecho [options] host [port]
OPTIONS:
-4 connect via IPv4 only
-6 connect via IPv6 only
-c count stop after sending count packets
-d, --debug print packet debugging information
-e, --echoplus expect echo plus response (default: auto detect)
-h, --help print this help and exit
-i interval interval between packet (default: 1 sec)
-r, --rfc expect RFC compliant response (default: auto detect)
-q, --quiet, --silent do not print messages
-s packetsize size of data bytes to be sent. (default: 40 bytes)
-t sec response timeout (default: 5 sec)
-v, --verbose enable verbose output
-V, --version print version number and exit
Example usage (RFC 862 compliant):
$ akcom-udpecho -c 5 --rfc udpecho.example.com 30006
UDPECHO udpecho.example.com:30006 (209.112.131.108:30006): 40 bytes
udpecho_seq=1 time=17.3 ms
udpecho_seq=2 time=13.7 ms
udpecho_seq=3 time=19.0 ms
udpecho_seq=4 time=18.3 ms
udpecho_seq=5 time=12.6 ms
--- udpecho.example.com udpecho statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 12.6/16.1/19.0 ms
$
Example usage (TR-143 UDPEchoPlus compliant) using server with 100000 us random delay:
$ akcom-udpecho -c 5 --echoplus udpecho.example.com 30006
UDPECHO udpecho.example.com:30006 (209.112.131.108:30006): 40 bytes
udpecho_seq=1 failures=0 time=158.0 ms delay=77.9 ms adj_time=80.1 ms
udpecho_seq=2 failures=0 time=109.1 ms delay=29.2 ms adj_time=79.9 ms
udpecho_seq=3 failures=0 time=136.1 ms delay=56.2 ms adj_time=79.9 ms
udpecho_seq=4 failures=0 time=83.1 ms delay=3.0 ms adj_time=80.0 ms
udpecho_seq=5 failures=0 time=133.2 ms delay=53.1 ms adj_time=80.0 ms
--- udpecho.example.com udpecho statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 83.1/123.9/158.0 ms
adjusted round-trip min/avg/max = 79.9/80.0/80.1 ms

akcom-udpechod is simple UDP echo server. The drop and delay features should not be used concurrently by multiple clients. Currently akcom-udpechod processes each packet sequentially which causes all packets received before previous packets have been processed to be skewed when using the drop and delay features.
akcom-udpechod usage:
Usage: akcom-udpechod [options]
OPTIONS:
-d num, --drop=num set packet drop probability [0-99] (default: 0%)
-D usec, --delay=usec set echo delay range to microseconds (default: 0 us)
-e, --echoplus enable echo plus, not RFC compliant
-f str, --facility=str set syslog facility (default: daemon)
-g gid, --group=gid setgid to gid (default: none)
-h, --help print this help and exit
-l addr, --listen=addr bind to IP address (default: all)
-n, --foreground do not fork
-p port, --port=port list on port number (default: 30006)
-P file, --pidfile=file PID file (default: /var/run/akcom-udpechod.pid)
-r, --rfc RFC compliant echo protocol (default)
-u uid, --user=uid setuid to uid (default: none)
-v, --verbose enable verbose output
-V, --version print version number and exit
Example usage (RFC 862 compliant):
akcom-udpechod \
--port 30007 \
--pidfile /var/run/akcom-udpecho/akcom-udpecho.pid \
--user nobody \
--group nobody \
--delay=10000 \
--drop=10 \
--rfc
Example usage (TR-143 UDPEchoPlus compliant):
akcom-udpechod \
--port 30007 \
--pidfile /var/run/akcom-udpecho/akcom-udpecho.pid \
--echoplus \
--user nobody \
--group nobody \
--delay=10000 \
--drop=10 \
--echoplus
