it depends on what kind of devices/platforms you have been deploying,
but you can get false positives/negatives because sometimes you
configure firewalls with rules to deny from specific sources. Thus, you
get false alarms. Also your firewalls might be dropping outbound
traffic. So, you miss the outer interface and have a non-efficient test.
