Description
iputils is a small collection of TCP/IP related utilities.
- ping: is already provided on the device by BusyBox and it's a tool
to monitor and test network functionality.
- arping: sends ARP requests to a host.
- tracepath: trace a path to a host discovering MTU along the
way. This is similar to [traceroute], but does not require superuser rights or offer fancy options.
Packages
source: iputils
binary: iputils-ping, iputils-arping, iputils-tracepath
Usage Examples
To test if a host is in the network and responding to ping:
# ping host.name.net
Send four ARP requests to host:
# arping -c 4 host.name.net
Discover the path to www.maemo.org:
# tracepath www.maemo.org
