           x = IPv6(pktt)

       Object definition:

       IPv6(
           version       = int,
           traffic_class = int,
           flow_label    = int,
           total_size    = int,
           protocol      = int,
           hop_limit     = int,
           src           = IPv6Addr(),
           dst           = IPv6Addr(),
           psize         = int,     # payload data size
           data          = string,  # raw data of payload if protocol
                                    # is not supported
