Hello,

Self_Test v4.0.1 ICMPv6 test v6LC.5.1.2 Part F
Testing that the NUT does not answer to a echo reply to the loopback address
(::1).

Note: Test description in the 4.0.1 test file do not match the test it
contains the description of Part A  (same for Part E)

Why does the test forbit a answer to a echo request to ::1, I agree in real
environment it should never be happen that a paket with destination ::1 hit
a real interface, but loopback. But I see no paragraph in RFC 4443 which
forbit an echo reply here.
