…net#22259) What is the motivation for this PR? We were seeing failures in packet trimming tests when verifying UDP packets. This is because the shaper on TH5 is still sending a few packets a second that were used to fill up the buffer (simulating congestion) and these packets are nearly identical to the UDP packets used to verify trimming. This is leading to false positives where a packet that was used to fill the buffer is being detected as a "trimmed" packet when packet trimming is turned off. How did you do it? Fixed this by changing the dummy ip for the packets used to fill the buffer, meaning they won't be mistaken for a packet that the test sends to verify trimming. How did you verify/test it? Verified that the failure goes away with the change. Signed-off-by: Ryan Garofano <rgarofano@arista.com> Signed-off-by: mssonicbld <sonicbld@microsoft.com>

How did you verify/test it?
Verified that the failure goes away with the change.
Any platform specific information?
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
