Command was renamed in a217233ab:
network/tcp_cmds/arp01: rename to ipneigh01

    'ipneigh' is more appropriate name for the test as it covers
    IPv4 and IPv6 cache entries with 'ip neigh' command and arp
    command is obsolete.

I think that's valid point, I'd keep the name. One day arp part gets deleted.

I really thing that this is sufficient enough (I forgot to add the command before):
  	tst_res TINFO "Stress auto-creation of $entry_name cache entry with '$del_cmd' $NUMLOOPS times"
Why shorter lines:
1) This 4 lines is trying to express what the test does. Curious user
should look into the test itself. LTP approach is to print command when they fail,
otherwise be informative, but not verbose.
2) It's difficult to grep log message which is split, it's better to avoid it if possible)


Kind regards,
Petr
