Simple Module ICMPv6

Package: inet.networklayer.icmpv6
File: src/inet/networklayer/icmpv6/ICMPv6.ned

ICMPv6 implementation.

To send an ICMPv6 Echo Request, send any message to port pingIn with IPv6ControlInfo attached. The message will be used as ping payload (encapsulated into an ICMPv6Message). When an ICMPv6 Echo Reply is received, the payload message will be sent to pingOut.
