#full or half duplex.

#We have had a lot of problems with this, since we've got a batch of s
+witches 
#that don't negotiate properly.

#It's loosely based on Net::Ping, since there were a number of useful 
+reference
#points in there (like packet checksumming).

#in essence, what it does is send a rapid burst of packets that are ov
+er the ethernet
#MTU size. This triggers a burst of responses from the remote end. (if
+ not firewalled etc.)
#A machine that is running half duplex, will respond to significantly 
+less of these packets,
#than a machine that is running full duplex.
