+// The ICMPv6 module implements functions to easily create ICMPv6
+// packets. These functions, when mixed with the built-in Go IPv6
+// and ICMP libraries, can be used to send control messages back
+// to the host. Examples include:
+// - NDP messages, when running in TAP mode
+// - Packet Too Big messages, when packets exceed the session MTU
+// - Destination Unreachable messages, when a session prohibits
+//   incoming traffic
