I am looking to do a shell script that can send something simple via UDP from server 1 - to server 2
I want to be able to see on server 2 that I received everything expected..
ie.. I am looking at this to avoid using ping / traceroute to highlight network issues.. if a UDP packet gets lost then it would be clear there is an issue somewhere in the network
Could I send something like hello over various UDP packets - and if I only receive helo on the other end i know I lost a packet...
I know I am saying this very simplistically - and I sure it wouldnt be easy to script but looking for help all the same...
