That is correct. The echo server uses -e to let users capture packets on
a specific network interface. For the TCP listener, the echo server will
listen on port 9929 on any IP address assigned to the box, unless a
specific address is passed with -S. In that case, the bind() operation
will be done to that address instead of INADDR_ANY.
