Some tests fail on some systems as it is difficult to write networking
tests that are portable. For example, AIX allows to configure if the
system answers to icmp mask requests (see the documentation for the no
command). The default is not to answer mask request and hence test
icmp-2.0 fails. The failure of icmp-2.2 and icmp-2.3 is due to the
fact that AIX does not send port unreachable icmp messages over its
loopback interface.
