36.SH SYNOPSIS
37\fBakcom-udpechod\fR [\fBOPTONS\fR]
38
39.SH DESCRIPTION
40\fBakcom-udpechod\fR is simple UDP echo server. Currently \fBakcom-udpechod\fR
41processes each packet sequentially which causes all packets received before
42previous packets have been processed to be skewed when using either the
43\fB-D\fR or \fB-d\fR options.

47.TP 10
48\fB-d\fR \fInum\fR, \fB--drop\fR=\fInum\fR,
49set the packet drop probability [0-99]. This option should not be used if
50multiple clients will be using the same UDP echo server instance.
51(default: 0%)
52
53.TP 10
54\fB-D\fR \fIusec\fR, \fB--delay\fR=\fIusec\fR
55set echo delay range to microseconds. This option should not be used if
56multiple clients will be using the same UDP echo server instance.
57(default: 0 us)
58
59.TP 10
60\fB-e\fB, \fB--echoplus\fR
61run as a TR-143 UDPEchoPlus server. This option is not compatible with

65\fB-f\fR \fIstr\fR, \fB--facility\fR=\fIstr\fR
66set syslog facility (default: daemon)
