Both tests fail for me:
TEST: ping                                              [FAIL]
TEST: ping                                              [FAIL]

Why the need for the iptables rule?

And, PAUSE_ON_FAIL is not working to take a look at why tests are
failing. e.g.,

PAUSE_ON_FAIL=yes ./router_broadcast.sh

just continues on. Might be something with the infrastructure scripts.
