[edit] 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.

[edit] Packages

source: iputils

binary: iputils-ping, iputils-arping, iputils-tracepath

[edit] 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
