+
+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.
