Public bug reported: Binary package hint: iputils-ping
A bug in ping exists whereby packets returned after 1s+ throw funny error messages: 64 bytes from slowhost.mydomain.com (12.37.112.12): icmp_seq=17 ttl=254 time=1.35 ms wrong data byte #12 should be 0xc but was 0x4 #8 8 9 a b 4 d e f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 #40 28 29 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 According to http://twiki.org/cgi- bin/view/Wikilearn/PingWrongDataByte0Bug a fix exists, but is not yet implemented widespread it seems. Since the message can drive a network debugger up a pole and could lead to the belief hardware is broken, the effort to fix should be made. ** Affects: iputils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ping throwing "should be...but was .." errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
