- AIX 3.2 has an interesting-looking option to ping --
-
- ping -R : show route recording
-
- When I use it, I get some extra output when I ping between two RS/6000's,
- but if I ping other machines there seems to be no difference. Except
- that there are some local hosts that I can successfully ping if I use ping
- normally, but if I use "ping -R" I get no response.
-
- Anyone know how ping -R is supposed to work and what I should expect from it?
