What is the Configuration Test Protocol, a thingie that uses ethernet type
09000 packets?  Is it documented in any RFC?  How useful is it?  Is it a
kind of ethernet ping?

Many thanks.

Mohamed

PS:  If it is a sort of Ethernet ping, I would suggest calling the program
that uses it PENG (Packet EtherNet Groper)!
