When Linux is used as a router, it is undesirable for the kernel to process
incoming packets when the address assigned to the interface is down.
The initial problem report was for a management application that used ICMP
to check link availability.

The default is disabled to maintain compatibility with previous behavior.
This is not recommended for server systems because it makes fail over more
difficult, and does not account for configurations where multiple interfaces
have the same IP address.
