Bug#486127: ITP: sock -- make a customized traffic over network

2008-06-25 Thread Eriberto
Hello Laurent and Steve,

Thanks for your comments. Sock is a program to test concepts in
networks. It was developed by Richard Stevens, a great writer.

Sock has specific syntax and features as other programs. Then, my
purpose is make available the program used in book TCP/IP Illustrated
- Vol I [1] to students and readers. The students need the exact
program to reproduce the examples. Besides, this package is more one
option to users.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Eriberto -  Brazil

  Description : make a customized traffic over network

Network program written by William Richard Stevens and used in exemples in his
book called TCP/IP Illustrated - Volume I.

It can be used both as a client and as a server and can send both TCP and UDP
packets. It works in 4 modes:

- client: establishes a tcp connection to server's echo service.
- server: runs a service on local socket (IP:Port). The server will copy 
data
  received from the client to STDOUT and copy data input from STDIN 
to
  the client.
- source client: writes x buffers of y bytes of data to the discard
 service on server.
- source server: discards any data received on a especific port.

Is there some benefit of sock over socat (which is free)?

Laurent.

That would be examples.

Does this really do anything that netcat (which is free) doesn't?
