DISCARD

Command

DISCARD -- Start a sink session.

Synopsis

Syntax: DI[scard]

Description

The DISCARD command starts a "sink" session, whereby the router ignores (discards) everything subsequently sent to it. This is useful for testing TNC's, link throughputs etc.

A DISCARD session can only be ended by disconnection.

Note

The DISCARD server may also be used by telnetting to TCP port 9 (This port may be altered or disabled using the DISCARDPORT=n directive in XROUTER.CFG).
