This page is for discussion of the article. It is not for dumping a massive (500 kB) alternative version of it. -- RHaworth18:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't the types #130 to #132 obsolete ? They belong to an obsoleted version of the specs (RFC 1885), so I guess they are (and the article should be edited consequently).
Also, there seems to exist some more ICMPv6 message types (see here for instance), and it may be a good thing to update the article in that way (my IPv6 knowledge isn't big enough for me to do it). 83.202.8.19 (talk) 14:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Section "checksum" seems preplexing, at least to me.
I had a hard time figuring out how "1's complement summation" is performed.
Though I know what 1's complement is, "1's complement summation" is new to me. And there is no article for it on Wikipedia, it there?
I did not get the correct until I found another webpage explainning "1's complement summation".

This is bad news, and should be reversed. Protocol articles on Wikipedia should not use abbreviations for titles, no matter what is used in the field. The vast majority of technical articles that would show up by Google or anyone would likely use acronyms or abbreviations, but this is an general purpose encyclopedia. "Using common names" should be qualified to what a general audience understands and not specialists. ICMPv6 is NOT a commonly recognized name, you cannot ask a digital database/search engine for what the meaning of that is. Ask your mother what it refers to. At least with the full title they will send you to the Internet. The title doesn't have to include "for", it could just be Internet Control Message Protocol version 6kbrose (talk) 21:21, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kbrose "Protocol articles on Wikipedia should not use abbreviations for titles" is based on what Wikipedia policy? We have MOS:ACROTITLE, which says "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject". That is the case here. I don't see any exception for protocols that you mention. "Ask your mother" is not relevant here either, because the policy is relevant to "readers somewhat familiar with the subject". And if people want to learn what it stands for, they have the first sentence of the article anyway. PhotographyEdits (talk) 10:56, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Flags in the "Neighboor Advertisement Message" are mixed with the "Router Advertisement Message" (see the Current hop limit).
There are also problem with the cell size vs bit size of the flags.
PS: I don't know how to correct table sorry. 82.124.177.69 (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
