ICMPv6
Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6) or ICMP for IPv6 is a new version of ICMP and is an integral part of the IPv6 architecture that must be completely supported by all IPv6 implementations and nodes. ICMPv6 combines functions previously subdivided among different protocols, such as ICMP, IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol version 3), and ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) and it introduces some simplifications by eliminating obsolete types of messages no longer in use.
