ICMPv6 described in several RFC's is crucial for IPv6 day-to-day operations.

ICMP uses IPv6 protokol - or next header - 58 and builds on the IPv4 ICMP implementation. Several new message Types are defined in IPv6 for example Stateless Autoconfiguration.
  • ICMP type field: The type of ICMP packet - for example Ping
  • ICMP Code field: Codefield used by ICMP Type
  • Checksum field: Checksum that cover all of the ICMP message.
  • ICMP data field: The Data that connects to the ICMP Type.
