Class overview

ICMPv6 Protocol.

Every Layer3.IPv6 has a Layer3.Icmpv6Protocol attached. With this class you can create a Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession to send Echo Requests

Method documentation

Layer3.Icmpv6Protocol::Destructor

Warning

Layer3.Icmpv6Protocol::Session.Add			applicationId

Creates an ICMPv6 Echo Session, through which this host can query the Layer3 IP network.

See Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession for more information.

When an external tool connects to the ByteBlowerPort with an ICMPv6 session (e.g. ping6), that session will not be listed in Session.Get. If you want such sessions to be listed there, you will need to call Session.Add given the applicationId that is used by the external tool.

Parameters

applicationId

Provide an ICMPv6 application id for this session. This should be unique across the host. If none is given, a random value is generated. Default: Random generate number

Returns

The created echo session is immediately returned. This is a Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession object.

Example

This example creates an Echo session with a random application ID and returns this new object.

$icmpv6 Session.Add

Returns:

<Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession object> 

This example creates an Echo session with a specific application ID and returns this new object. E.g. when ping6 uses application Id 7

$icmpv6 Session.Add 7

Returns:

<Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession object>

Layer3.Icmpv6Protocol::Session.Get

Returns the active list of ICMPv6 Echo Sessions.

Note

The ICMPv6 Protocol may have more active sessions at server-side than listed here. This list only returns the Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession objects for which a handle has been created at client-side. See below for more information.

When an external tool connects to the ByteBlowerPort with an ICMPv6 session (e.g. ping6), that session will not be listed here. If you want such sessions to be listed here, you will need to call Session.Add given the applicationId that is used by the external tool.

Returns

A list of created Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession objects is returned. An empty list (i.e. empty string) is returned if no such sessions were added.

Example

$icmpv6 Session.Get

Returns:

[ <Layer3.Icmpv6EchoSession object> ... ]
