Yes. ping 0.0.0.0 on linux works; while windows report not reachable.

Hi all, I found a behavior difference when running the testcase PingZero on linux and windows. On Linux, it prints "reachable" while on windows "unreachable", which is the same with the result of running "ping 0.0.0.0" on these two platforms. Is it a bug or intended? Do you get the same thing when you use the ping command? -Alan
