ping_siit.seq - Verify IPv6 <-> IPv4 header translation in accordance with RFC2765 [SIIT]
Router
ping_siit.seq [-tooloption ...] -p ping_siit.def
Before this test starts, run initialize.seq.
This test verifies that NUT translates between IPv6 (no fragment hdr) and IPv4 (DF=1). It also tests ICMPv6 echo <-> ICMPv4 echo translation. Network Topology

<< PASS >> TN (Link1) received ICMPv4 echo request, with DF=1 in IPv4 header. TN (Link0) received ICMPv6 echo reply, with no fragment header after IPv6 header.
<< FAIL >> NUT did not translate between ICMPv6 echo and ICMPv4 echo, or NUT did not translate between IPv6 fragment header and IPv4 DF option.
RFC2765
3.1. Translating IPv4 Headers into IPv6 Headers
If the DF bit is set and the packet is not a fragment (i.e., the MF flag is not set and the Fragment Offset is zero) then there is no need to add a fragment header to the packet.
Flow Label: 0 (all zero bits)
3.3. Translating ICMPv4 Headers into ICMPv6 Headers
Echo and Echo Reply (Type 8 and Type 0) Adjust the type to 128 and 129, respectively, and adjust the ICMP checksum both to take the type change into account and to include the ICMPv6 pseudo-header.
4.1. Translating IPv6 Headers into IPv4 Headers
If there is no IPv6 Fragment header the IPv4 header fields are set as follows:
Flags: The More Fragments flag is set to zero. The Don't Fragments flag is set to one.
4.2. Translating ICMPv6 Headers into ICMPv4 Headers
Echo Request and Echo Reply (Type 128 and 129) Adjust the type to 0 and 8, respectively, and adjust the ICMP checksum both to take the type change into account and to exclude the ICMPv6 pseudo-header.
