#!/bin/bash
# Network testing script v 1.10
# (c) 2005-2011 Javier Fernandez-Sanguino
#
# This script will test your system's network configuration using basic
# tests and providing both information (INFO messages), warnings (WARN)
# and possible errors (ERR messages) by checking:
# - Interface status
# - Availability of configured routers, including the default route
# - Proper host resolution, including DNS checks
# - Proper network connectivity, including ICMP and web connections to 
#   a remote web server (the web server used for the tests can be configured, 
#   see below)
#
# Some of the network tests are described in more detail at
# http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-25557.html
# 
# The script does not need special privileges to run as it does not 
# do any system change. It also will not fix the errors by itself.
# 
# Additional software requirements:
#    * ip from the iproute package. (could probably be rewrittent to
#    use ifconfig only or to parse /proc)
#    * ping from the iputils-ping package or the netkit-ping package.
#    * nc from the netcat package.

#
# TODO
# - Works only on Linux, can this be generalised for other UNIX systems
#   (probably not unless rewritten in C)
# - Does not check for errors properly, use -e and test intensively
#   so that expected errors are trapped
#   (specially for tools that are not available, like netcat)
# - If the tools are localised to languages != english the script might 
#   break 
# - Ask 'host' maintainer to implement error codes as done with 
#   dlint
# - Should be able to check if DNS server is in the same network, if 
#   it doesn't answer to pings, check ARP in that case.
# - DHCP checks?
# - Other internal services tests? (LDAP if using pam...)
# - Generate summary of errors in the end (pretty report?)
# - Check if packets are being dropped by local firewall? (use dmesg
#   and look for our tests)
# - Support wireless interfaces? (use iwconfig)
# - Check for more than one web server (have CHECK_HOSTS be a number
#   of hosts and determine a metric to spout an error) ?
# - Use traceroute or tcptraceroute to see if there is network connectivity?
#   (traceroute is usually blocked by firewalls but tcptraceroute might
#   be an alternative to using nc)
# - Use mii-tool (requires root privileges)
# - Use ping -s XXXX to detect invalid MTUs
# - Use arpping to detect another host with our same IP address
# - Check other TODOs inline in the code
