Configuring IPv6

IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the
Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along
with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast
router solicitation request for configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers respond to this
request with a router advertisement packet containing network-layer configuration parameters.
