        # from Python because it's a function of the underlying TCP/IP stack.
        # So, the following Snakebite host has been defined:
        blackhole = ('blackhole.snakebite.net', 56666)

        # Blackhole has been configured to silently drop any incoming packets.
        # No RSTs (for TCP) or ICMP UNREACH (for UDP/ICMP) will be sent back
        # to hosts that attempt to connect to this address: which is exactly
        # what we need to confidently test connect timeout.

        # However, we want to prevent false positives.  It's not unreasonable
        # to expect certain hosts may not be able to reach the blackhole, due
        # to firewalling or general network configuration.  In order to improve
        # our confidence in testing the blackhole, a corresponding 'whitehole'
        # has also been set up using one port higher:
        whitehole = ('whitehole.snakebite.net', 56667)

        # This address has been configured to immediately drop any incoming
        # packets as well, but it does it respectfully with regards to the
        # incoming protocol.  RSTs are sent for TCP packets, and ICMP UNREACH
        # is sent for UDP/ICMP packets.  This means our attempts to connect to
        # it should be met immediately with ECONNREFUSED.  The test case has
        # been structured around this premise: if we get an ECONNREFUSED from
        # the whitehole, we proceed with testing connect timeout against the
        # blackhole.  If we don't, we skip the test (with a message about not
        # getting the required RST from the whitehole within the required
        # timeframe).
