- The _a_t_p_i_n_g command attempts to use the Apple Echo Protocol
- (AEP) to ping an AppleTalk node. It is similar in function
- to _p_i_n_g(1m). In its usual usage, _a_t_p_i_n_g is given an
- AppleTalk _n_e_t and _n_o_d_e number, and it sends an echo request
- every second. It waits for response packets, and lists each
- one as it is received. The output includes a round trip
- time, and a count of packets received and lost. The net and
- node arguments can be prepended with a 0x to specify
- hexadecimal input.
-
- ----xxxx causes _a_t_p_i_n_g to print its output in
- hexadecimal.
-
- ----bbbb (blast) flag causes _a_t_p_i_n_g to send packets as
- quickly as possible to test the load-handling
- of another machine. A count of the number of
- packets sent and received is kept. The high
- packet volume produced may crash some routers.
-
- ----cccc (compare) flag causes _a_t_p_i_n_g to compare the
- return packets to ensure the packets are not
- getting corrupted in transit. Can be used in
- conjunction with ----bbbb
-
- ----llll flag makes the echo packets len bytes long.
- The default is 586, which is also the maximum.
-
- ----tttt makes atping wait at most 1 second for a
- response, and exit with a code indicating
- success (0) or failure (errno). This is good
- for detecting in a script if a machine has
- failed.
-
- ----OOOO,,,, ----TTTT,,,, aaaannnndddd ----ZZZZ
- options cause _a_t_p_i_n_g to use NBP to look up the
- address of the entity. If the entity you wish
- to ping is running K-Talk, you can simply
- specify the machine's name, with the ----OOOO option.
- If the entity you wish to ping is another
- device (such as a printer), you can specify the
- type with ----TTTT (which defaults to "Echoer") and
- the zone with ----ZZZZ (which defaults to "*", the
- local zone). _a_t_p_i_n_g is usually used to check
- network connectivity. If there is no route

- When routers with multiple interfaces configured for
- AppleTalk are pinged, they may return a ``from'' address
- from an interface other than the one addressed. This is
- normal.
