NAME
       in.discardd - UDP or TCP discard protocol service

SYNOPSIS
       in.discardd

       FMRI svc:/internet/discard:default

DESCRIPTION
       FMRI  stands  for  Fault	 Management Resource Identifier. It is used to
       identify resources managed  by  the  Fault  Manager.  See  fmd(1M)  and
       smf(5).

       The  in.discardd service provides the server-side of the discard proto‐
       col. This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth measurement  and
       is available on both TCP and UDP transports through port 9.

       The  in.discardd	 service is an inetd(1M) smf(5) delegated service. The
       in.discardd detects which  transport  is	 requested  by	examining  the
       socket it is passed by the inetd daemon.

       The  discard  service  simply throws away any data it receives from the
       client.

       TCP-based service    Once a connection is established, the  in.discardd
			    discards  any data received. No response is gener‐
			    ated. The connection remains open until the client
			    terminates it.

       UDP-based service    The	 in.discardd listens for UDP datagrams. When a
			    datagram is received, the server discards  it.  No
			    response is sent.
