ping -c 1 www.ibm.com never returns. The site drops
icmp packets.
The "never returns" behaviour is not what I expected.
I thought after a few seconds to see:
1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
The actual behaviour is for ping to continue running until
it receives a packet or is interrupted.
inetutils-1.4.2/ping/ping.c has this line:
if (ping->ping_count && ping->ping_num_recv >= ping->ping_count)
I believe that is why "ping -c 1 pack.dropping.site.com" doesn't
return.
Can anyone think of an elegant solution? Or is this the
desired behaviour?
