13This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on
14the ARPA Internet that choose to implement an Echo Protocol are expected
15to adopt and implement this standard.
16
17A very useful debugging and measurement tool is an echo service. An
18echo service simply sends back to the originating source any data it
19receives.

21TCP Based Echo Service
22
23 One echo service is defined as a connection based application on TCP.
24 A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 7. Once a
25 connection is established any data received is sent back. This
26 continues until the calling user terminates the connection.
27
28UDP Based Echo Service
29
30 Another echo service is defined as a datagram based application on
31 UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port 7. When a
32 datagram is received, the data from it is sent back in an answering
33 datagram.
