It's not something that is absolutely required to be tested on each
platform. Nanomsg should be tested that all the basics (reconnection,
failover, pushback) works on all platforms. And an application should
be tested to be able to survive network failures on at least one
platform, then there is a very low chance for something to fail on
other platforms.
In any case, you can try to define semantics and API for that, to take
it seriosly. e.g. it's very hard to simulate "iptables ... -j DROP"
without a firewall.
