EHP.1 for etherhostprobe
Ethernet Host Prober:
Probes each Internet address in the range starting with ``begin-addr'' and
ending with ``end-addr'' (both ``begin-addr' and ``end-addr'' can be either
hostnames or dotted-decimal Internet addresses) by forcing an ARP
packet to be sent to each Internet address in the range specified.
Up to 5 ARPs per hosts will be send at 0.25 second intervals.
This program uses the operating system's ARP tables, and thus may degrade
performance somewhat while running.
IPF.1 and IPF.2 for ipforwarding: check for hosts doing IP forwarding
Probes each host listed on standard input to see if it is guilty of IP
forwarding.
Uses the ethernet interface specified by ``interface'' to send probe
packets.
If a ``broadcast-addr'' is supplied, it is used as the IP broadcast address
in the probe packet, if omitted, the IP broadcast address is deduced from
the interface address.
Since this program is ignorant of subnets, the ``broadcast-addr'' should
be supplied in a subnetted environment.
