File: src/inet/networklayer/icmpv6/ICMPv6Message.msg

Represents an ICMPv6 packet.

Notes: 1. number of octets excluding the error datagram that is usually appended in optInfo, i.e. the Type|CODE|CHECKSUM|UNUSED/POINTER/MTU/OTHER as defined in RFC2463 2. Any ICMP type with MSB set, i.e. >=128 is an Informational ICMP message
