It seems real hardware requires some time to stabilize and actually works after an 'ip link up'. This is not the case for veth as everything is simulated but this is a requirement for real hardware to permit receiving packet. Without this the very fist test for unicast always fails on real hardware. With the introduced sleep of one second after mc_route_prepare, the test corretly pass as the packet can correctly be delivered.
