Comment 6 for bug 861404

the -R option includes routing info (and a request for that) in each packet. When you use it output looks like this:

ping -R 10.153.108.1
PING 10.153.108.1 (10.153.108.1) 56(124) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.153.108.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.977 ms
RR: 10.153.108.180
 10.153.108.1
 10.153.108.1
 10.153.108.180

64 bytes from 10.153.108.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.926 ms (same route)

I'm not sure that we use that information for anything, so it might be possible to remove it. I'd like to know:

- Whether we indeed ignore it, by looking at internet_test's code (if we're not parsing ping's output, then we don't need this.
- I'd still love to see output for route and ifconfig, to make sure there's nothing weird there, it seems strange that -R would outright not work and make ping fail.
