NAME

     ng_echo — netgraph echo node type

SYNOPSIS

     #include <netgraph/ng_echo.h>

DESCRIPTION

     The echo node type reflects all data and control messages back to the sender.  This node
     type is used for testing and debugging.

HOOKS

     A echo node accepts any request to connect, regardless of the hook name, as long as the name
     is unique.

CONTROL MESSAGES

     This node type supports only the generic control messages.  Any other control messages are
     reflected back to the sender.

SHUTDOWN

     This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have
     been disconnected.
