+and swaps teh source and destination addresses before echoing it.
+This node type is used for testing and debugging.
+.Sh HOOKS

+.Nm ether_echo
+node accepts any request to connect, regardless of the hook name,
+as long as the name is unique.
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type supports only the generic control messages.
+Any other control messages are reflected back to the sender.
+.Sh SHUTDOWN
+This node shuts down upon receipt of a
+.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
+control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
