Hi Ole,

I am reviving this thread.

Since RFC8201 says “SHOULD” instead of “MUST”, should this test be removed from the compliance test as it is not a mandatory behavior?

IMHO, since the smallest packet size is capped at 1280, it won't cause too much risk  even if we don't verify it using Echo Request here.

Bests,
Shawn
