dccpping - send DCCP Request packets to network hosts

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dccpping> [-v] [-V] [-h] [-n] [-6|-4] [-c I<count>] [-p I<port>] [-i I<interval>] [-t I<ttl>] [-s I<service_code>] [-S I<srcaddress>] I<destination>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<dccpping> uses DCCP Request packets to elicit a response from a host or gateway.
	
For each response received, a line of information about the type of response (DCCP packet
 or ICMP error) and the round trip time are printed. Upon termination, statistics about
the loss rate and round trip times are printed.

B<dccpping> uses the well-known "half-open technique", which prevents applications on
the destination host from seeing our probes at all. Normally, a DCCP Request is sent.
For non-listened ports we receive a DCCP Reset, and all is done. For active listening
ports we receive DCCP Response, but answer with a DCCP Reset (instead of the expected
DCCP Ack), this way the remote DCCP session is closed without the application ever
noticing.
