| ping interval timer was not very broken, but very unintelligible. |
| Though I remade the code to use leaky bucket logic, which |
| is the most transparent one. Anyway, contribution by Eric is |
| the most important one since the previous release. |
| Short theory of operation: option -i (interval) sets rate r=1/interval pps, |
| option -l (preload) sets burst size of l packets. So, ping sends |
| at most r*t+l packets for an arbitrary interval t. |
| Default values: l=1 and for non-flood case: r=1pps, for flood r=infinity. |
| Nice? Exact algorithm is: |
| |
| Let N(t) be l/r=l*i initially and N(t) grow continuously with time as: |
| |
| N(t+delta) = min{l*i, N(t) + delta} |
| |
| Packet can be transmitted only at the time t_* when 1/r=i <= N(t_*) |
| and in this case N(t) jumps: |
| |
| N(t_* + 0) = N(t_* - 0) - i. |
| |
| When interval is zero, algo degenerates allowing to send any amount |
| of messages. In this case we modify it using l as limit on amount |
| of unanswered requests and waiting for 10msec, when something is not |
| answered. Note that the last thing (10msec) is just to be compatible with |
| BSD manual pages. BSD ping is simply not able to avoid delay technically, |
| we are able now. |
| |
| In result we got some new facilities: |
| * "-f -l 100" becomes very aggressive, in fact on good link |
| it holds permanently 100 packets in flight, which is very different |
| of earlier bevaviour (one packet in flight). |
| * -f and -i are not incompatible more. In fact, "-f -i 1" is equivalent |
| to plain ping, only output is different (dotted). Essentially, |
| change of output format is the only effect. "ping -i 0" is flood |
| printing output in normal format. |
| |
| Moved some parts of code to ping_common.c. Common part is not fully |
| trivial now. :-) |
| |
| * ping: Ian Lynagh <igloo@earth.li>, larger and dynamic dup detector. |
| Also, Ian submitted two large patches, one fixing formatting, another |
| doing something with signedness/longness. Not now... |
| Later note: found not working. x + 7 / 8 :-). Sorry... dubious, withdrawn. |
| size of table increased to maximal value instead (8K of memory, |
| not a big deal). |
| * tftpd: an old misprint. left@sbor.spb.su (Igor A. Lefterov) |
| * clockdiff: do not fail, if reversed resolution failed. |
| Tommy Lacroix <tommyl@zeroknowledge.com> |
| * ping: audible ping by Patrik Schilt <patrik@bnc.ch> |
| Patrick's option renamed to -a to align to freebsd. |
| * ping: react to device queue overflows using IP_RECVERR. me. |
| * ping: option -S allows to change sndbuf |
| * rarpd is moved from separate package here (people asked) |
| * ping6: kernel style bitops are not used more. |
| * Option -A to adapt to network rtt. |
| * Use BPF, when multiple pings are detected. |

| * ping is able to select TOS. By Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi> |
| * tracepath* DNS names. By Pawel Krawczyk <kravietz@ceti.com.pl> and |
| Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.org.pl> |
| * ping6 is expected to be compiled with linux-2.2. |
| |
| [001011] |
| * RH bugid#16677: segfault, when ping is used by root and size |
| is large enough. Fix is to allow oversize by root (it is necessary |
| to check kernel side), but clamp it at some safe value. |
| |
| [001010] |
| * More bug fixes from Chris Evans <chris@ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk> |
| - do not trust h_length returned by system resolver. |
| This value is meaningless in any case. |
| - ping: buffer overflow in fill()!!! Disgraceful bug. |
| |
| * ping: allow not-priviledged users to use broadcasts. It was paranoia. |
| Multicasts were allowed. 8) |
| * ping: but force broadcasts&multicasts not to fragment. BSD does |
| not allow to do this to anyone, we still allow this for superuser. |
| * Option -M to control path mtu discovery. |
| |
| [001007] |
| * By Pekka Savola <pekkas@netcore.fi> |
| - SIOCGSTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMP are sensitive to bug in kernel. |
| When get_fast_time != gettimeofday (f.e. timestampless x86), |
| returned stamp can be out of sync with gettimeofday. |
| Workaround is not to use SIOCGSTAMP/SO_TIMESTAMP on such systems. |
| - fixes in man pages |
| - compiles under rh-7.0 |
| * Chris Evans <chris@ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk> |
| - ping: possible buffer overflow in pr_addr(). |
| |
| [000928] |
| * Sorry. I have lost all the CVS with changes made since 000418. |
| If someone sent me a patch after this date, please, resubmit. |
| Restored from the last backup and mailboxes: |
| |
| * ping*, SO_TIMESTAMP support. |
| * ping*, allow zero data length (reported by Damjan Lango <damjan.lango@hermes.si>) |
| * iputils man and help updates. Pekka Savola <Pekka.Savola@netcore.fi> |
| * ping.8, fix to ping man page. By Dadid Eisner <cradle@glue.umd.edu> |
| * ping prints addresses in numeric, if destination is numeric. |
| Proposed by Tim Waugh <twaugh@meme.surrey.redhat.com> |
| |
| New: |
| * ping: strncpy bug <typo@inferno.tusculum.edu> |
| * arping: improvements by Charles Howes <croot@micro-logistics.com> |
| - a feature to arping: quit as soon as a reply is received. |
| - default to eth0. |
| - spelling |
| |
| [000418] |
| * llsqrt() was buggy again! |
| (noticed by Sam Farin <sfarin@ratol.fi>) |
| |
| [000404] |
| * tracepath*, "NURDUnet-gw" bug workaround. |
| (noticed by Vitaly E.Lavrov <lve@aanet.ru>) |
| * tracepath*, handle case of routers initializing rtt to 128. |
| Vitaly E.Lavrov <lve@aanet.ru> |
| * shadowed icmp_sock in ping6. James Morris <jmorris@@intercode.com.au> |
| * Bug in ping -f, introduced with SO_RCVTIMEO. me. |
| * llsqrt() (ping, ping6) was wrong yet. me. |
| |
| [000310] |
| * Print mean deviation of RTT in ping/ping6. |
| * Use SIOCGSTAMP in ping/ping6. Old behaviour calculating |
| true user-to-user latency is restored with option -U. |
| Reason for this stupid change is mainly political; people |
| wonder why freebsd has twice less latency on loopback. |
| If to follow along this line, we have to print rtt equal to 0. 8) |
| [ LATER NOTE: actually, the change is _right_ without any doubts. |
| Ping has another bug: nameresolver is blocking, so that |
| when it dies not respond, ping shows evenly increasing by 1 sec |
| RTT. It is very confusing (look through linux-kernel maillists |
| to count number of people, who were cheated by misconfigured dns). ] |
| * Use SO_RCVTIMEO instead of poll() with ping/ping6 -f. |
| * Added -V option to arping/ping/ping6/traceroute6/rdisc |
| to print snapshot number. |
| |
| [000305] |
| * rdisc: ugly bug in getting interface list. me. |
| * ping/ping6: ping -i N, N>=3 did not work. Jeff Jonson <jbj@redhat.com> |
| * ping/ping6: microsecond rtt measurements. me. |
| |
| [000120] |
| * ping/ping6: non-zero exit code even without -w. |
| |
| [991024] |
| * Option "-i" to ping/ping6 takes fractional time now, so that |
| "ping -i 0.3 xxx" pings each 300 msec. The idea is by |
| Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca> |
| * alpha/glibc-2.1 alignment problems in ping are fixed (struct timeval |
| was wrongly aligned). |
| |
| [990915] |
| * ping/ping6 worked only with kernels 2.3.15+ in 990824. |
| |
| [990824] |
| * tftpd is added. It uses MSG_CONFIRM to confirm arp entries. |
| * ping6: workaround for bug in some egcs versions. |
| |
| [990610] |
| * ping: output buffer was too small for full sized ping. |
| * ping: silly restriction on ping size is removed. |
| |
| [990530] |
| * short man pages (Oleg M. Shumsky <oms@cp.tomsk.su>) |
| * ping6: get and print hop limit of reply packets (ME) |
| * rdisc deletes routes before exit with -TERM |
| * ping/ping6: option -w TIMEOUT |
| * arping: exit with error, if received no replies in normal |
| (not DAD and not unsilicited ARP) mode. |
