Do you have idea why ARP status of the rhost is stale?
I've never encountered problem like this.

IMHO we use $DEL_CMD as we use later in the test function, because some systems
does not have arp installed.  i.e. use the tool which is used for testing.
Otherwise we endup with: sh: arp: command not found
