DISCARD

The DISCARD protocol is an Internet Protocol defined in Request for Comments 863. It is intended for testing and measurement purposes.

A host may connect to a server that supports the DISCARD protocol, on either Transmission Control Protocol or User Datagram Protocol port 9. Everything sent to the server is thrown away. No response is sent.

Current testing and measurement of IP networks is more commonly done with Ping and Traceroute.
