.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility uses the
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
.No protocol Ap s mandatory
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
datagram to elicit an
|
||||
.Tn ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE
|
||||
from a host or gateway.
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
datagrams
|
||||
.Pq Dq pings
|
||||
have an IP and
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
header, followed by a
|
||||
.Dq struct timeval
|
||||
and then an arbitrary number of
|
||||
.Dq pad
|
||||
bytes used to fill out the packet.
|
||||
The options are as follows:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It Fl A
|
||||
Audible.
|
||||
Output a bell
|
||||
.Tn ( ASCII
|
||||
0x07)
|
||||
character when no packet is received before the next packet
|
||||
is transmitted.
|
||||
To cater for round-trip times that are longer than the interval
|
||||
between transmissions, further missing packets cause a bell only
|
||||
if the maximum number of unreceived packets has increased.
|
||||
.It Fl a
|
||||
Audible.
|
||||
Include a bell
|
||||
.Tn ( ASCII
|
||||
0x07)
|
||||
character in the output when any packet is received.
|
||||
This option is ignored
|
||||
if other format options are present.
|
||||
.It Fl c Ar count
|
||||
Stop after sending
|
||||
(and receiving)
|
||||
.Ar count
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_RESPONSE
|
||||
packets.
|
||||
If this option is not specified,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
will operate until interrupted.
|
||||
If this option is specified in conjunction with ping sweeps,
|
||||
each sweep will consist of
|
||||
.Ar count
|
||||
packets.
|
||||
.It Fl D
|
||||
Set the Don't Fragment bit.
|
||||
.It Fl d
|
||||
Set the
|
||||
.Dv SO_DEBUG
|
||||
option on the socket being used.
|
||||
.It Fl f
|
||||
Flood ping.
|
||||
Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred times per second,
|
||||
whichever is more.
|
||||
For every
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
sent a period
|
||||
.Dq .\&
|
||||
is printed, while for every
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REPLY
|
||||
received a backspace is printed.
|
||||
This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.
|
||||
Only the super-user may use this option.
|
||||
.Bf -emphasis
|
||||
This can be very hard on a network and should be used with caution.
|
||||
.Ef
|
||||
.It Fl G Ar sweepmaxsize
|
||||
Specify the maximum size of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
payload when sending sweeping pings.
|
||||
This option is required for ping sweeps.
|
||||
.It Fl g Ar sweepminsize
|
||||
Specify the size of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
payload to start with when sending sweeping pings.
|
||||
The default value is 0.
|
||||
.It Fl h Ar sweepincrsize
|
||||
Specify the number of bytes to increment the size of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
payload after
|
||||
each sweep when sending sweeping pings.
|
||||
The default value is 1.
|
||||
.It Fl I Ar iface
|
||||
Source multicast packets with the given interface address.
|
||||
This flag only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
|
||||
.It Fl i Ar wait
|
||||
Wait
|
||||
.Ar wait
|
||||
seconds
|
||||
.Em between sending each packet .
|
||||
The default is to wait for one second between each packet.
|
||||
The wait time may be fractional, but only the super-user may specify
|
||||
values less than 1 second.
|
||||
This option is incompatible with the
|
||||
.Fl f
|
||||
option.
|
||||
.It Fl L
|
||||
Suppress loopback of multicast packets.
|
||||
This flag only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
|
||||
.It Fl l Ar preload
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Ar preload
|
||||
is specified,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
sends that many packets as fast as possible before falling into its normal
|
||||
mode of behavior.
|
||||
Only the super-user may use this option.
|
||||
.It Fl M Cm mask | time
|
||||
Use
|
||||
.Dv ICMP_MASKREQ
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Dv ICMP_TSTAMP
|
||||
instead of
|
||||
.Dv ICMP_ECHO .
|
||||
For
|
||||
.Cm mask ,
|
||||
print the netmask of the remote machine.
|
||||
Set the
|
||||
.Va net.inet.icmp.maskrepl
|
||||
MIB variable to enable
|
||||
.Dv ICMP_MASKREPLY .
|
||||
For
|
||||
.Cm time ,
|
||||
print the origination, reception and transmission timestamps.
|
||||
.It Fl m Ar ttl
|
||||
Set the IP Time To Live for outgoing packets.
|
||||
If not specified, the kernel uses the value of the
|
||||
.Va net.inet.ip.ttl
|
||||
MIB variable.
|
||||
.It Fl n
|
||||
Numeric output only.
|
||||
No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names for host addresses.
|
||||
.It Fl o
|
||||
Exit successfully after receiving one reply packet.
|
||||
.It Fl P Ar policy
|
||||
.Ar policy
|
||||
specifies IPsec policy for the ping session.
|
||||
For details please refer to
|
||||
.Xr ipsec 4
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Xr ipsec_set_policy 3 .
|
||||
.It Fl p Ar pattern
|
||||
You may specify up to 16
|
||||
.Dq pad
|
||||
bytes to fill out the packet you send.
|
||||
This is useful for diagnosing data-dependent problems in a network.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
.Dq Li \-p ff
|
||||
will cause the sent packet to be filled with all
|
||||
ones.
|
||||
.It Fl Q
|
||||
Somewhat quiet output.
|
||||
.No Don Ap t
|
||||
display ICMP error messages that are in response to our query messages.
|
||||
Originally, the
|
||||
.Fl v
|
||||
flag was required to display such errors, but
|
||||
.Fl v
|
||||
displays all ICMP error messages.
|
||||
On a busy machine, this output can be overbearing.
|
||||
Without the
|
||||
.Fl Q
|
||||
flag,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
prints out any ICMP error messages caused by its own ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
messages.
|
||||
.It Fl q
|
||||
Quiet output.
|
||||
Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time and
|
||||
when finished.
|
||||
.It Fl R
|
||||
Record route.
|
||||
Includes the
|
||||
.Tn RECORD_ROUTE
|
||||
option in the
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
packet and displays
|
||||
the route buffer on returned packets.
|
||||
Note that the IP header is only large enough for nine such routes;
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Xr traceroute 8
|
||||
command is usually better at determining the route packets take to a
|
||||
particular destination.
|
||||
If more routes come back than should, such as due to an illegal spoofed
|
||||
packet, ping will print the route list and then truncate it at the correct
|
||||
spot.
|
||||
Many hosts ignore or discard the
|
||||
.Tn RECORD_ROUTE
|
||||
option.
|
||||
.It Fl r
|
||||
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached
|
||||
network.
|
||||
If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned.
|
||||
This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface
|
||||
that has no route through it
|
||||
(e.g., after the interface was dropped by
|
||||
.Xr routed 8 ) .
|
||||
.It Fl S Ar src_addr
|
||||
Use the following IP address as the source address in outgoing packets.
|
||||
On hosts with more than one IP address, this option can be used to
|
||||
force the source address to be something other than the IP address
|
||||
of the interface the probe packet is sent on.
|
||||
If the IP address
|
||||
is not one of this machine's interface addresses, an error is
|
||||
returned and nothing is sent.
|
||||
.It Fl s Ar packetsize
|
||||
Specify the number of data bytes to be sent.
|
||||
The default is 56, which translates into 64
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
data bytes when combined
|
||||
with the 8 bytes of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
header data.
|
||||
Only the super-user may specify values more than default.
|
||||
This option cannot be used with ping sweeps.
|
||||
.It Fl T Ar ttl
|
||||
Set the IP Time To Live for multicasted packets.
|
||||
This flag only applies if the ping destination is a multicast address.
|
||||
.It Fl t Ar timeout
|
||||
Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of how
|
||||
many packets have been received.
|
||||
.It Fl v
|
||||
Verbose output.
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
packets other than
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_RESPONSE
|
||||
that are received are listed.
|
||||
.It Fl W Ar waittime
|
||||
Time in milliseconds to wait for a reply for each packet sent.
|
||||
If a reply arrives later, the packet is not printed as replied, but
|
||||
considered as replied when calculating statistics.
|
||||
.It Fl z Ar tos
|
||||
Use the specified type of service.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
When using
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
for fault isolation, it should first be run on the local host, to verify
|
||||
that the local network interface is up and running.
|
||||
Then, hosts and gateways further and further away should be
|
||||
.Dq pinged .
|
||||
Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed.
|
||||
If duplicate packets are received, they are not included in the packet
|
||||
loss calculation, although the round trip time of these packets is used
|
||||
in calculating the round-trip time statistics.
|
||||
When the specified number of packets have been sent
|
||||
(and received)
|
||||
or if the program is terminated with a
|
||||
.Dv SIGINT ,
|
||||
a brief summary is displayed, showing the number of packets sent and
|
||||
received, and the minimum, mean, maximum, and standard deviation of
|
||||
the round-trip times.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
receives a
|
||||
.Dv SIGINFO
|
||||
(see the
|
||||
.Cm status
|
||||
argument for
|
||||
.Xr stty 1 )
|
||||
signal, the current number of packets sent and received, and the
|
||||
minimum, mean, and maximum of the round-trip times will be written to
|
||||
the standard error output.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
This program is intended for use in network testing, measurement and
|
||||
management.
|
||||
Because of the load it can impose on the network, it is unwise to use
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
during normal operations or from automated scripts.
|
||||
.Sh ICMP PACKET DETAILS
|
||||
An IP header without options is 20 bytes.
|
||||
An
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
packet contains an additional 8 bytes worth of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
header followed by an arbitrary amount of data.
|
||||
When a
|
||||
.Ar packetsize
|
||||
is given, this indicated the size of this extra piece of data
|
||||
(the default is 56).
|
||||
Thus the amount of data received inside of an IP packet of type
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
.Tn ECHO_REPLY
|
||||
will always be 8 bytes more than the requested data space
|
||||
(the
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
header).
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If the data space is at least eight bytes large,
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
uses the first eight bytes of this space to include a timestamp which
|
||||
it uses in the computation of round trip times.
|
||||
If less than eight bytes of pad are specified, no round trip times are
|
||||
given.
|
||||
.Sh DUPLICATE AND DAMAGED PACKETS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility will report duplicate and damaged packets.
|
||||
Duplicate packets should never occur when pinging a unicast address,
|
||||
and seem to be caused by
|
||||
inappropriate link-level retransmissions.
|
||||
Duplicates may occur in many situations and are rarely
|
||||
(if ever)
|
||||
a good sign, although the presence of low levels of duplicates may not
|
||||
always be cause for alarm.
|
||||
Duplicates are expected when pinging a broadcast or multicast address,
|
||||
since they are not really duplicates but replies from different hosts
|
||||
to the same request.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Damaged packets are obviously serious cause for alarm and often
|
||||
indicate broken hardware somewhere in the
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
packet's path (in the network or in the hosts).
|
||||
.Sh TRYING DIFFERENT DATA PATTERNS
|
||||
The
|
||||
(inter)network
|
||||
layer should never treat packets differently depending on the data
|
||||
contained in the data portion.
|
||||
Unfortunately, data-dependent problems have been known to sneak into
|
||||
networks and remain undetected for long periods of time.
|
||||
In many cases the particular pattern that will have problems is something
|
||||
that does not have sufficient
|
||||
.Dq transitions ,
|
||||
such as all ones or all zeros, or a pattern right at the edge, such as
|
||||
almost all zeros.
|
||||
It is not
|
||||
necessarily enough to specify a data pattern of all zeros (for example)
|
||||
on the command line because the pattern that is of interest is
|
||||
at the data link level, and the relationship between what you type and
|
||||
what the controllers transmit can be complicated.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
This means that if you have a data-dependent problem you will probably
|
||||
have to do a lot of testing to find it.
|
||||
If you are lucky, you may manage to find a file that either
|
||||
cannot
|
||||
be sent across your network or that takes much longer to transfer than
|
||||
other similar length files.
|
||||
You can then examine this file for repeated patterns that you can test
|
||||
using the
|
||||
.Fl p
|
||||
option of
|
||||
.Nm .
|
||||
.Sh TTL DETAILS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
value of an IP packet represents the maximum number of IP routers
|
||||
that the packet can go through before being thrown away.
|
||||
In current practice you can expect each router in the Internet to decrement
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
field by exactly one.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Tn TCP/IP
|
||||
specification recommends setting the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
field for
|
||||
.Tn IP
|
||||
packets to 64, but many systems use smaller values
|
||||
.No ( Bx 4.3
|
||||
uses 30,
|
||||
.Bx 4.2
|
||||
used 15).
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The maximum possible value of this field is 255, and most
|
||||
.Ux
|
||||
systems set
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
field of
|
||||
.Tn ICMP ECHO_REQUEST
|
||||
packets to 255.
|
||||
This is why you will find you can
|
||||
.Dq ping
|
||||
some hosts, but not reach them with
|
||||
.Xr telnet 1
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Xr ftp 1 .
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
In normal operation
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
prints the ttl value from the packet it receives.
|
||||
When a remote system receives a ping packet, it can do one of three things
|
||||
with the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
field in its response:
|
||||
.Bl -bullet
|
||||
.It
|
||||
Not change it; this is what
|
||||
.Bx
|
||||
systems did before the
|
||||
.Bx 4.3 tahoe
|
||||
release.
|
||||
In this case the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
value in the received packet will be 255 minus the
|
||||
number of routers in the round-trip path.
|
||||
.It
|
||||
Set it to 255; this is what current
|
||||
.Bx
|
||||
systems do.
|
||||
In this case the
|
||||
.Tn TTL
|
||||
value in the received packet will be 255 minus the
|
||||
number of routers in the path
|
||||
.Em from
|
||||
the remote system
|
||||
.Em to
|
||||
the
|
||||
.Nm Ns Em ing
|
||||
host.
|
||||
.It
|
||||
Set it to some other value.
|
||||
Some machines use the same value for
|
||||
.Tn ICMP
|
||||
packets that they use for
|
||||
.Tn TCP
|
||||
packets, for example either 30 or 60.
|
||||
Others may use completely wild values.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
utility exits with one of the following values:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It 0
|
||||
