<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

<I>Ikeping</I>

sends and receives ISAKMP/IKE echo request and echo reply packets. These
packets are intended for diagnostics purposes, in a manner similar to 
<I><A HREF="ping.8.html">ping</A></I>(8)

does for ICMP echo request/reply packets.
<P>

At the time of this writing, the ISAKMP echo request/reply exchange is still
an internet-draft, and is therefore completely non-standard.
<P>

<I>Ikeping</I>

will bind to the local address given by 
<B>--ikeaddress</B>

and the port number given by
<B>--ikeport</B>

defaulting to the wildcard address and the ISAKMP port 500. An ISAKMP
exchange of type 244 (a private use number) is sent to each of the
address/ports listed on the command line. The exchange number may be
overridden by the  
<B>--exchangenum </B>

option.
<P>

<I>Ikeping</I>

then listens for replies, printing them as they are received. Replies
are of exchange type 245 or the specified exchange number plus 1.
<I>Ikeping </I>

will keep listening until it either receives as many echo responses as it sent,
or until the timeout period (10 seconds) has been reached. Receipt of a
packet will reset the timer. The 
<B>--wait</B>

option can be used to specify a different timeout period. 
<P>

If the 
<B>--listen</B>

option is given, then 
<I>ikeping</I>

will not send any packets. Instead, it will listen for them and reply to
each request received.
