When the ARP status of the rhost is stale,
lhost ping rhost and the lhost deletes the ARP record,
the record in the rhost changes from stale to delay.
Then, the probe request is sent to the lhost, and the lhost ARP information is updated.

   rhost(10.0.0.1)      lhost(10.0.0.2)
t1 10.0.0.2 STALE       ping 10.0.0.1
                        10.0.0.1 REACHABLE
                        arp -d 10.0.0.1
t2 10.0.0.2 DELAY
t3 probe 10.0.0.2
t4                      10.0.0.1 REACHABLE

Clear the ARP entries of rhost before each round of test.
