Before this test starts, run initialize.seq.
This test verifies that NUT can translates ICMPv4 query messages in accordance to RFC2765. Network Topology

RFC2765
3.3. Translating ICMPv4 Headers into ICMPv6 Headers
All ICMP messages that are to be translated require that the ICMP checksum field be updated as part of the translation since ICMPv6, unlike ICMPv4, has a pseudo-header checksum just like UDP and TCP.
In addition all ICMP packets need to have the Type value translated and for ICMP error messages the included IP header also needs translation.
The actions needed to translate various ICMPv4 messages are:
ICMPv4 query messages:
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.
Information Request/Reply (Type 15 and Type 16) Obsoleted in ICMPv4. Silently drop.
Timestamp and Timestamp Reply (Type 13 and Type 14) Obsoleted in ICMPv6. Silently drop.
Address Mask Request/Reply (Type 17 and Type 18) Obsoleted in ICMPv6. Silently drop.
ICMP Router Advertisement (Type 9) Single hop message. Silently drop.
ICMP Router Solicitation (Type 10) Single hop message. Silently drop.
Unknown ICMPv4 types Silently drop.
