       flow   4 bits version, 8 bits TC and 20 bits flow-ID.

       plen   Payload length (as in the IPv6 header).

       nxt    Next header.

       hlim   Hop limit.

       src    Source address.

              1 bit, set if packet is a fragment.

       frag_offlg
              Offset, reserved, and flag taken from the fragment header.

       frag_ident

              The length of padding found, if any.

   Functions
       Ip6:type()
              Return the textual type of the object.

       Ip6:prev()
              Return the previous object.

       Ip6:cast()
              Cast the object to the underlining object module and return it.

       Ip6:uncast()
              Cast the object to the generic object module and return it.

       Ip6:copy()
              Make a copy of the object and return it.

       Ip6:free()
              Free the object, should only be used on copies or otherwise allocated.

       Ip6:source(pretty)
              Return the IPv6 source as a string.  If pretty is true then  return  an  easier  to
              read IPv6 address.

       Ip6:destination(pretty)
              Return  the  IPv6 destination as a string.  If pretty is true then return an easier
