Detailed Description

Access to the IPv6 forwarding table, interfaces, and configuration.

This class defines the API to manipulate the following aspects of the IPv6 implementation:

1. set/get an Ipv6RoutingProtocol
2. register a NetDevice for use by the IPv6 layer (basically, to create IPv6-related state such as addressing and neighbor cache that is associated with a NetDevice)
3. manipulate the status of the NetDevice from the IPv6 perspective, such as marking it as Up or Down,
4. adding, deleting, and getting addresses associated to the IPv6 interfaces.
5. exporting IPv6 configuration attributes

Each NetDevice has conceptually a single IPv6 interface associated with it (the corresponding structure in the Linux IPv6 implementation is struct in_device). Each interface may have one or more IPv6 addresses associated with it. Each IPv6 address may have different subnet mask, scope, etc., so all of this per-address information is stored in an Ipv6InterfaceAddress class (the corresponding structure in Linux is struct in6_ifaddr)

IPv6 attributes such as whether IP forwarding is enabled and disabled are also stored in this class

TO DO: Add API to allow access to the IPv6 neighbor table

Returns

The interface number of the IPv6 interface with the given address or -1 if not found.

Each IP interface has one or more IP addresses associated with it. This method searches the list of interfaces for one that holds a particular address.

Parameters

address	The IP address assigned to the interface of interest.
mask	The IP prefix to use in the mask

Returns

The interface number of the IPv6 interface with the given address or -1 if not found.
