FYI none of these tests is in any runtest file.
And I expect nobody is actually using them nowadays because all these tests
require 'rsh' via check_envval script:
exists cut locale rsh

Maybe some of them have useful test scenario, but they seem to me just checking
if kernel crashes when sending packet on TCP/UDP/ICMP/various IPsec. And because
we have better tests covering IPsec over various protocols including TCP and UDP
I don't think they are actually worth of cleanup.
Kind regards,
Petr
