Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6) is the implementation of the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). ICMPv6 is an integral part of IPv6 and performs error reporting, diagnostic functions (e.g., ping), neighbor discovery, and a framework for extensions to implement future Internet Protocol control aspects. ICMPv6 is defined in RFC 4443. ICMPv6 messages may be classified into two categories: error messages and information messages. ICMPv6 messages are transported by IPv6 packets in which the IPv6 Next Header value for ICMPv6 is set to 58.
