This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the IPv6 layer.

Version of Internet Protocol header.
Traffic class field. Was Type of Service in IPv4.
Flow label class field. Was IP ID in IPv4.
The type of next header. Was protocol in IPv4.
Is an alias for nextHeader
Length in bytes of encapsulated layers (that is, layer 4 + layer 7).
Was TTL field in IPv4.
Source and destination addresses.
Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. Default values:
version: 6
trafficClass: 0
flowLabel: 0
nextHeader: NP_IPv6_PROTOCOL_TCP
hopLimit: 0xff
src: $Env->ip6
dst: '::1'
Returns the length in bytes of encapsulated layers (that is layer 4 + layer 7).
Packs all attributes into a raw format, in order to inject to network. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.
Unpacks raw data from network and stores attributes into the object. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.
Load them: use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:ipv6);
