In some systems, the netcat server can incur in delay to start listening.
When this happens, the test can randomly fail in various points.
This is an example error message:
# ip gre none gso
# encap 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2, type gre, mac none len 2000
# test basic connectivity
# Ncat: Connection refused.
The issue stems from a race condition between the netcat client and server.
The test author had addressed this problem by implementing a sleep, which
I have removed in this patch.
This patch introduces a function capable of sleeping for up to two seconds.
However, it can terminate the waiting period early if the port is reported
to be listening.
