.SH NAME
fragtest \- test IP fragment reassembly behaviour
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI fragtest " TESTS ... host"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B fragtest
probes the remote

to determine its TCP/IP stack behaviour.
.LP
The 
.I TESTS

.B all
to perform them all):
.TP
.B ping
Send an ICMP echo request to the host.
.TP
.B ip-opt
Send ICMP echo requests with different IP options, to see which IP
options are supported.
.TP
.B frag
Send an ICMP echo request as 8-byte fragments.
.TP
.B frag-new
Send an ICMP echo request as 8-byte fragments with an overlapping
16-byte fragment, favoring newer data in reassembly.
.TP
.B frag-old
Send an ICMP echo request as 8-byte fragments with an overlapping
16-byte fragment, favoring older data in reassembly.
.TP
.B frag-timeout
Send an ICMP echo request as 8-byte fragments, omitting the last
fragment, and wait for an ICMP time-exceeded-in-reassembly reply.
