Ok, what about replicating data packets and include in them a M6 destiantion
option that means the ping?
So, if there are data packets available we can piggyback ping into data
packets (both forward and reverse path)
My concern is about the sending host having to wait until the ping reply is
received.
An additional concern is that i don't think that we could trust ICMP end to
end, becuase of icmp filtering.
