[Bug 1536603] [NEW] ping-announced IP as GW's IP, i.e. wrong if target is down and then boots up and starts responding

 

Public bug reported:

Ping-announced IP address as source host's IP, i.e. wrong, when target
is down and when the target then boots up  and starts responding, the
response is noted to come from (still) the host itself:

The lines with the response times say the responding IP is the one of
the pinging host itself, instead of the target that was originally being
pinged:
