Name

       aecho - send AppleTalk Echo Protocol packets to network hosts

Synopsis

       aecho [-c count] [address | nbpname]

Description

       aecho  repeatedly  sends an Apple Echo Protocol (AEP) packet to the host specified by the given AppleTalk
       address or nbpname and reports whether a reply was received. Requests are sent at the  rate  of  one  per
       second.

       address  is  parsed  by  atalk_aton(3).  nbpname  is  parsed  by  nbp_name(3).  The  nbp type defaults to
       `Workstation’.

       When aecho is terminated, it reports the number of packets sent, the number of  responses  received,  and
       the  percentage  of packets lost. If any responses were received, the minimum, average, and maximum round
       trip times are reported.

Examples

       Check to see if a particular host is up and responding to AEP packets:
