  • Article

The ICMP6_TYPE enumeration defines the set of Internet Control Message Protocol for IP version 6.0 (ICMPv6) message types.

Syntax

typedef enum {
  ICMP6_DST_UNREACH = 1,
  ICMP6_PACKET_TOO_BIG = 2,
  ICMP6_TIME_EXCEEDED = 3,
  ICMP6_PARAM_PROB = 4,
  ICMP6_ECHO_REQUEST = 128,
  ICMP6_ECHO_REPLY = 129,
  ICMP6_MEMBERSHIP_QUERY = 130,
  ICMP6_MEMBERSHIP_REPORT = 131,
  ICMP6_MEMBERSHIP_REDUCTION = 132,
  ND_ROUTER_SOLICIT = 133,
  ND_ROUTER_ADVERT = 134,
  ND_NEIGHBOR_SOLICIT = 135,
  ND_NEIGHBOR_ADVERT = 136,
  ND_REDIRECT = 137,
  ICMP6_V2_MEMBERSHIP_REPORT = 143
} ICMP6_TYPE, *PICMP6_TYPE;

Constants

 
ICMP6_DST_UNREACH

ND_ROUTER_ADVERT
Value: 134
ICMPv6 router advertisement message.
ND_NEIGHBOR_SOLICIT
Value: 135

Remarks

On the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) released for Windows Vista and later, the organization of header files has changed and the ICMP6_TYPE enumeration is defined in the Ipmib.h header file not in the Iprtrmib.h header file. Note that the Ipmib.h header file is automatically included in Iprtrmib.h which is automatically included in the Iphlpapi.h header file. The Ipmib.h and Iprtrmib.h header files should never be used directly.

Minimum supported client Windows Vista, Windows XP with SP2 [desktop apps only]
