SC_SPEEDTRAP(1) 	     General Commands Manual		 SC_SPEEDTRAP(1)

NAME
     sc_speedtrap  -- scamper driver to resolve aliases for a set of IPv6 inter-
     faces.

SYNOPSIS
     sc_speedtrap [-?Iv] [-a addressfile] [-A aliasfile] [-l logfile]
		  [-o outfile] [-p port] [-R unix-remote] [-s stop]
		  [-S skipfile] [-U unix-local]

     sc_speedtrap [-d dump] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The sc_speedtrap utility provides the ability to connect to a running scam-
     per(1) instance and use it to collect data for alias resolution of a set of
     IPv6 addresses using the "speedtrap" technique.  sc_speedtrap induces  each
     address to send fragmented ICMP echo replies, with the goal of obtaining an
     incrementing Identifier (ID) field in the fragmentation header.  If two ad-
     dresses  are  aliases,  they will return ICMP echo replies with a monotoni-
     cally increasing value in the ID field because the ID field is  implemented
     as  a  counter  shared  amongst  all interfaces.  sc_speedtrap implements a
     scalable algorithm to quickly determine which addresses are aliases.   Fur-
     ther  information	about  the algorithm is found in the "see also" section.
     The supported options to sc_speedtrap are as follows:

     -?      prints a list of command line options and a synopsis of each.

     -v      prints the version of sc_speedtrap and exits.

     -a addressfile
	     specifies the name of the input file which consists of  a	sequence
	     of IPv6 addresses to resolve for aliases, one address per line.

     -A aliasfile
	     specifies	the  name  of an output file which will receive pairs of
	     aliases, one address-pair per line.

     -d dump
	     specifies the number  identifying	an  analysis  task  to	conduct.
	     Valid dump numbers are 1-3.  See the examples section.

     -I      specifies	that  the  addressfile contains only interfaces known to
	     send fragmentation headers containing incrementing values.

     -l logfile
	     specifies the name of a file to log output from sc_speedtrap gener-
	     ated at run time.

     -o outfile
	     specifies the name of the output file to be  written.   The  output
	     file will use the warts format.

     -p port
	     specifies	the port on the local host where scamper(1) is accepting
	     control socket connections.

     -R unix-remote
	     specifies the name of a unix domain socket on the local host  where
	     a	remote	scamper(1) instance is accepting commands.  The unix-re-
	     mote parameter can either be a unix domain socket for a single  re-
	     mote scamper(1) instance, or be a sc_remoted(1) mux socket with the
	     name of the remote VP encoded after a trailing slash.

     -s stop
	     specifies	the  step at which sc_speedtrap should halt.  The avail-
	     able steps are "classify", "descend", "overlap", "descend2",  "can-
	     didates", and "ally".

     -S skipfile
	     specifies	the  name  of an input file which contains known aliases
	     that do not need to be resolved, one address-pair per line.

     -U unix-local
	     specifies the name of a unix domain socket on the local host  where
	     a local scamper(1) instance is accepting commands.

EXAMPLES
     Given a set of IPv6 addresses contained in a file named addressfile.txt and
     a scamper process listening on port 31337 configured to probe at 30 packets
     per second started as follows:

	   scamper -P 31337 -p 30

     the following command will resolve the addresses for aliases, store the raw
     measurements  in  outfile1.warts,	and  record the interface-pairs that are
     aliases in aliases.txt:

	   sc_speedtrap  -p  31337  -a	addressfile.txt  -o  outfile1.warts   -A
	   aliases.txt

     Given  a  sc_remoted(1)  process  listening  on  a unix domain socket named
     /path/to/socket, and a remote vantage point named 'foo'  connected  to  the
     controller, probe the addresses with the remote vantage point using:

	   sc_speedtrap    -R	 /path/to/socket/foo   -a   addressfile.txt   -o
	   outfile2.warts

     The next example is useful when inferring	aliases  from  multiple  vantage
     points.   Given  the output of aliases.txt from a previous measurement, the
     following will resolve the  addressfile  for  aliases,  skipping  those  in
     aliases.txt, and appending the new aliases to aliases.txt:

	   sc_speedtrap   -p  31337  -a  addressfile.txt  -o  outfile3.warts  -A
	   aliases.txt -S aliases.txt

     To obtain a transitive closure of routers from an input warts file:

	   sc_speedtrap -d 1 outfile1.warts

     To obtain a list of the interfaces probed and their IPID behaviour:

	   sc_speedtrap -d 2 outfile1.warts

     To obtain statistics of how many probes are sent in  each	stage,	and  how
     long the stage takes:

	   sc_speedtrap -d 3 outfile1.warts
