--- Comment #2 from Steve Jacobson <sjac998 at yahoo.com> ---
This program can generate various UDP and TCP packets with various options.  It
can also be run as a client or as a server.

In addition to various educational uses, this program can be used in many
different networking contexts to generate test packets.

In addition to the previously existing capabilities of "sock," this port also
has an IPv6 option, that allows TCP or UDP to be run over IPv6 instead of the
default IPv4.

This port also fixes a couple of bugs in Christian Kreibich's version; these
are documented in the source code.
