Overview
bping sends bundles from srcEID to destEID. If the destEID echoes the bundles back (for instance, it is a bpecho endpoint), bping will print the round-trip time. When complete, bping will print statistics before exiting. It is very similar to ping, except it works with the bundle protocol.
bping terminates when one of the following happens: it receives the SIGINT signal (Ctrl+C), it receives responses to all of the bundles it sent, or it has sent all count of its bundles and waited wait seconds.
Exit status
These exit statuses are taken from ping.
-
"1" -
bpinghas terminated normally, but it did not receive responses to all the packets it sent.
-
"2" -
bpinghas terminated due to an error. Details should be noted in theion.loglog file.
Files

Environment
No environment variables apply.
Diagnostics
Diagnostic messages produced by bping are written to the ION log file ion.log and printed to standard error. Diagnostic messages that don't cause bping to terminate indicate a failure parsing an echo response bundle. This means that destEID isn't an echo endpoint: it's responding with some other bundle message of an unexpected format.

-
bpadminhas not yet initialized Bundle Protocol operations.

-
Another application has already opened ownEndpointId. Terminate that application and rerun.
- bping bundle reception failed.
