ICMPv6 Router Advertisement and Router Solicitation Messages (Page 2 of 3) ICMPv6 Router Advertisement Message Format The formats of the ICMPv6 Router Advertisement and Router Solicitation messages are fairly similar to their counterparts in ICMPv4. The main differences are in the parameters that are communicated. Since routers are responsible for a few more functions in IPv6 than they are in IPv4, the Router Advertisement message in ICMPv6 has a few more fields than the older version. The format of an ICMPv6 Router Advertisement message is described in Table 109 and shown in Figure 158.
