  • PING/TRACE instructions

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Thu Oct 10 16:29:02 2024
    From the nodelist:

    ;S PING/TRACE FUNCTION:
    ;S
    ;S Some nodes in Micronet may implement the PING and TRACE flags as
    ;S follows:
    ;S
    ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at its final destination
    ;S and this final destination flies the "PING" flag then the
    ;S receiving node will bounce the message back to the original
    ;S sender clearly displaying all the original VIA kludge lines.
    ;S
    ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at its final destination
    ;S but this final destination does _not_ fly the "PING" flag then the
    ;S message may be deleted from the inbound queue without further
    ;S follow-up.
    ;S
    ;S If a message destined to "PING" arrives at a node which flies
    ;S the TRACE flag but is merely passing through to another destination
    ;S then the in-transit node will notify the sender of this occurence
    ;S and will forward the original mail unaltered towards its final
    ;S destination.

    I hope this helps.
