Bug:IPinIP Hash Test Fails due to Incorrect Outer IP Protocol

[aeedara-nokia]

Is it platform specific

generic

Importance or Severity

Critical

Description of the bug

The IPinIPHashTest in T2 topology fails because packet sent is sent out wrong with Outer IP Protocol field set to 6 (TCP)
instead of the required 4 (IP-in-IP Encapsulation) and with wrong dst mac and src mac. This causes the DUT to drop the packet, resulting in two failures related to IPinIphash.

PR #17503 made OOP changes to some of the code used here (hash_test.py) to generate the packet before this PR tests passed.

Steps to Reproduce

Run test_fib.py from SONiC mgmt on T2 topology.

Actual Behavior and Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior
The test fails with an assertion error (AssertionError: Did not receive expected packet...).
The debug logs confirm the packet being sent has an incorrect outer protocol, proving the packet is malformed for a tunnel:

The test should pass, and the debug logs should confirm that the packet sent has the correct IP-in-IP encapsulation protocol:

@gshemesh2 could you please check we are seeing this issue after this commit sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#17503, are there any other changes we'd need , we pulled in changes from sonic-net/sonic-mgmt#20881 this also but no luck.
