I only wrote a testcases, didn't automate it, could you help to review ?

Steps:
1. boot up a guest with virtio_nic
2. login guest through serial
3. transfer a big file from guest to host
guest) # scp a.out $host_ip:~
4. put down link by monitor
qemu) # set_link $nic_model.0 down
5. try to capture date by tcpdump
host)# tcpdump port $scp_port and src $guest_ip -i $tap
6. put up link by monitor
qemu) set_link $nic_model.0 down
7. try to capture date by tcpdump
host)# tcpdump port $scp_port and src $guest_ip -i $tap
8. transfer a big file from host to guest
host) # scp a.out $guest_ip:~
9. put down link by monitor
qemu) # set_link $nic_model.0 down
10. try to capture date by tcpdump
guest)# tcpdump port $scp_port and dest $guest_ip -i eth0
11. put up link by monitor
qemu) set_link $nic_model.0 down
12. try to capture date by tcpdump
host)# tcpdump port $scp_port and dest $guest_ip -i eth0

Expected Results:
4. it should not capture nothing
6. it should capture some packets
10. it should not capture nothing
12. it should capture some packets
