Some thoughts -

Reliability
	if the monitor is broken you may think your stuff is broken,
	when it isn't, or worse, you may think your stuff is working
	when it isn't.
Testing
	How do you fake failure scenarios to acheive the above
	.... on production systems
ICMP responses and what they mean
	kind of useful when you ping a host and your router shouts
	back at you.
Testing for more than just pings
	discussion:
	is trying to query the protocol a good thing?
	is just connecting enough?
	how do we test for a generic protocol?
Obscure setups:
	Testing through firewalls
	port knocking scenarios
	...
