RFR - 8159410: InetAddress.isReachable returns true for non existing IP addresses

[Langer, Christoph]

this looks like a nice fix and I can't see anything besides the copyright year which you will for sure update when submitting. :)

Unfortunately I'm not a reviewer so you'll have to get another real review.

Best regards
Christoph
