Hi Alan,
Since this patch is for Unix like platforms, I didn't test the test
case on Windows yet.
However when I tested it on Windows I found it will fail on Windows.
I also use ping command on Windows to test both 0.0.0.0 and ::0, they
all fail. So I want to know if we need further investigation to see
why these 2 addresses can not be reachable or we just think it is the
proper behavior because JDK's behavior is consistent with ping on Windows?
It's important that all tests pass on all platforms. In a few cases
you'll see code in tests where it checks os.name and if the test is not
applicable then it just passes. It's okay if you do the same for this
test. Also as I said in one of the original replies, this one isn't
really a bug, it's just about having InetAddress.isReachable work
similar to the ping command on the platform for this case.
