DESCRIPTION
ibping uses vendor mads to validate connectivity between IB
nodes. On exit, (IP) ping like output is show. ibping is
run as client/server. Default is to run as client. Note
also that a default ping server is implemented within the
kernel.

-f, --flood
flood destination: send packets back to back without
delay
-o, --oui
use specified OUI number to multiplex vendor mads
-S, --Server
start in server mode (do not return)
COMMON OPTIONS
Most OpenIB diagnostics take the following common flags. The
exact list of supported flags per utility can be found in
the usage message and can be shown using the util_name -h
syntax.
# Debugging flags
-d raise the IB debugging level.
May be used several times (-ddd or -d -d -d).

-V show the version info.
# Addressing flags
-G use GUID address argument. In most cases, it is the
Port GUID.
Example:
"0x08f1040023"
-s <smlid> use 'smlid' as the target lid for SM/SA
queries.
# Other common flags:
-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name.
-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port.
-t <timeout_ms> override the default timeout for the
solicited mads.
Multiple CA/Multiple Port Support
When no IB device or port is specified, the port to use is
selected by the following criteria:
1. the first port that is ACTIVE.
2. if not found, the first port that is UP (physical link
up).
If a port and/or CA name is specified, the user request is
attempted to be fulfilled, and will fail if it is not possi-
ble.
