Nit: The '?' and ':' should have a single space before them.

$eout is set to ln-100 in both calls to test_packet(), so you are 
appending $packet to ln-100.expected. I suspect you meant to use "lsp1" 
and "lsp2" here. This way, 1.expected and 2.expected would get populated 
with the packet.

Because of the error in test_packet(), 1.expected and 2.expected are 
both empty at this point. It happens that vif1-tx.pcap and vif2-tx.pcap 
are also empty. So this check succeeds because it's comparing empty files.

As for why vif1-tx.pcap and vif2-tx.pcap are empty, I don't know. When I 
tested locally, I found that vif1-rx.pcap and vif2-rx.pcap had the 
expected packets in them, interestingly. Doesn't that seem backwards?
