ADD_ADDR can be retransmitted, and with, the parent commit, these retransmissions can be sent quicker: from 2 minutes to less than one second.
To avoid false positives where retransmitted ADD_ADDR causes higher counters than expected, it is required to be more tolerant. Errors are now only reported when fewer ADD_ADDRs have been sent/received, except if no ADD_ADDR are expected. Before the parent commit, the tolerance was present for each tests where the ADD_ADDR could be retransmitted in a reasonable time (1 sec). Now that all tests can have retransmitted ADD_ADDR, it is normal to apply the same tolerance for all tests. An alternative could be to disable the ADD_ADDR retransmissions by default, but that's changing the default kernel behaviour. Plus, ADD_ADDR retransmissions can be required for some tests. To avoid adding exceptions to many tests, it seems better to increase the tolerance. Later, we could add a new MIB counter to identify the ADD_ADDR retransmissions, and remove the tolerance when this counter is available.
