Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] Add support for sending RFC8335 PROBE
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:59:23 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1605303918.git.andreas.a.roeseler@gmail.com> (raw)
The popular utility ping has several severe limitations such as the
inability to query specific interfaces on a node and requiring
bidirectional connectivity between the probing and the probed
interfaces. RFC8335 attempts to solve these limitations by creating the
new utility PROBE which is a specialized ICMP message that makes use of
the ICMP Extension Struction outlined in RFC4884.
This patchset adds definitions for the probe ICMP message request and
reply types for both IPv4 and IPv6. It also expands the list of
supported ICMP messages to accommodate PROBEs.
