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	generated. 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.
