ksp ping
ksp ping
Command ReferenceMeasure cryptographic handshake and encrypted frame round-trip time (RTT) to a target KSP server.
Networking & Diagnostics
RFC § 10 — Control Frames & KeepalivesPurpose
Measure cryptographic handshake and encrypted frame round-trip time (RTT) to a target KSP server.
Syntax
Command-line specificationbash / powershell
ksp ping <SERVER_URI> [OPTIONS]
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| <SERVER_URI> | Target server address (e.g., `127.0.0.1:9876`). |
Options & Flags
| Option Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| --count, -c <NUM> | Number of ping frames to transmit before stopping (default: `4`). |
| --interval, -i <MS> | Interval in milliseconds between consecutive ping transmissions (default: `1000`). |
| --size, -s <BYTES> | Payload size of the encrypted ping frame (default: `64`). |
Example Usage
Example command
ksp ping 127.0.0.1:9876 -c 4
Expected Output
PING 127.0.0.1:9876 with 64 bytes of encrypted payload: Seq=1 RTT=1.42 ms Status=OK Cipher=AES-256-GCM ReplayWin=Verified Seq=2 RTT=0.88 ms Status=OK Cipher=AES-256-GCM ReplayWin=Verified Seq=3 RTT=0.91 ms Status=OK Cipher=AES-256-GCM ReplayWin=Verified Seq=4 RTT=0.85 ms Status=OK Cipher=AES-256-GCM ReplayWin=Verified --- 127.0.0.1:9876 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0.00% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.85/1.01/1.42/0.23 ms
Implementation Notes
Unlike standard ICMP ping, `ksp ping` measures full application-layer encryption and decryption round-trip efficiency.
