+ Echo Protocol
+
+
+
+
+This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on
+the ARPA Internet that choose to implement an Echo Protocol are expected
+to adopt and implement this standard.
+
+A very useful debugging and measurement tool is an echo service. An
+echo service simply sends back to the originating source any data it
+receives.
+
+TCP Based Echo Service
+
+ One echo service is defined as a connection based application on TCP.
+ A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 7. Once a
+ connection is established any data received is sent back. This
+ continues until the calling user terminates the connection.
+
+UDP Based Echo Service
+
+ Another echo service is defined as a datagram based application on
+ UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port 7. When a
+ datagram is received, the data from it is sent back in an answering
+ datagram.
