Another protocol that has been modified in version 6 of the TCP/IP protocol suite is ICMP (ICMPv6).

ICMPv6

 

Another protocol that has been modified in version 6 of the TCP/IP protocol suite is ICMP (ICMPv6). This new version follows the same strategy and purposes of version 4. ICMPv4 has been modified to make it more suitable for IPv6. In addition, some protocols that were independent in version 4 are now part of Internetworking Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6).


 

The ARP and IGMP protocols in version 4 are combined in ICMPv6. The RARP protocol is dropped from the suite because it was rarely used and BOOTP has the same functionality. Just as in ICMPv4, we divide the ICMP messages into two categories. However, each category has more types of messages than before.
