Structure

class HeaderIPv6

extension_headers

The list of extension headers present in IPv6 packet : Only supported during decoding

flow_label

The 24bit Flow Label field is used to label a set of packets that belong to the same flow.

hop_limit

This 8bit field defines by number a count of the maximum hops that a packet can remain in the network before it is destroyed.

ip_address_destination

An IPv4 address indicating the receiver of the packet.

ip_address_source

An IPv4 address indicating the sender of the packet.

next_header

This 8bit field reflects the new organization of IP packets with IPv6.

payload_length

Contains the length of the payload of IPv6 header.

trafic_class

It allows the network to take of advantage of the various queuing and congestion control mechanisms that may exist within it.

version

The version of the packet, or None if no version is present.
