NAME
     rds-ping - test reachability of remote node over RDS


SYNOPSIS
     rds-ping [-c count] [-i interval] [-I


DESCRIPTION
     rds-ping  is used to test whether a remote node is reachable
     over RDS.  Its interface is designed to operate pretty  much
     the  standard ping(1M) utility, even though the way it works
     is pretty different.

     rds-ping opens several RDS sockets and sends packets to port
     0  on  the  indicated host. This is a special port number to
     which no socket is  bound;  instead,  the  kernel  processes
     incoming packets and responds to them.

OPTIONS
     The  following  options are available for use on the command
     line:

     -c count
            Causes rds-ping to exit after sending (and receiving)
            the specified number of packets.

     -I address
            By  default,  rds-ping  will  pick  the  local source
            address for the RDS socket based on routing  informa-
            tion  for the destination address (i.e. if packets to
            the given destination would be routed through  inter-
            face  ib0 , then it will use the IP address of ib0 as
            source address).  Using the option, you can  override
            this choice.

     -i timeout
            By default, rds-ping will wait for one second between
            sending packets. Use this option to specified a  dif-
            ferent  interval.  The timeout value is given in sec-
            onds, and can be a floating point number. Optionally,
            append msec or usec to specify a timeout in millisec-
            onds or microseconds, respectively.

            Specifying a timeout considerably  smaller  than  the
            packet   round-trip   time  will  produce  unexpected
            results.
