NAME

6       aecho - send AppleTalk Echo Protocol packets to network hosts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       aecho [ -c count ] ( address | nbpname )
10

DESCRIPTION

12       aecho repeatedly sends an Apple Echo Protocol (AEP) packet to the host
13       specified by the given AppleTalk address or nbpname and reports whether
14       a reply was received. Requests are sent at the rate of one per second.
15
16       address is parsed by atalk_aton(3).  nbpname is parsed by nbp_name(3).
17       The nbp type defaults to `Workstationยด.
18
19       When aecho is terminated, it reports the number of packets sent, the
20       number of responses received, and the percentage of packets lost. If
21       any responses were received, the minimum, average, and maximum round
22       trip times are reported.
23

EXAMPLE

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