Ummm...why? For example, U-Boot initializes the network interface and
is able to perform DHCP and TFTP downloads, but it will not reply  to
a ping as ICMP is not needed for U-Boot's purposes.

Replying to ping requests is a  non-requirement  for  most  practical
purposes, and may be blocked by any router anyway.

Best regards,
