/** @file
  This file defines the EFI IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)
  Protocol interface. It is split into the following three main
  sections:
  - EFI IPv6 Service Binding Protocol
  - EFI IPv6 Variable (deprecated in UEFI 2.4B)
  - EFI IPv6 Protocol
  The EFI IPv6 Protocol provides basic network IPv6 packet I/O services,
  which includes support for Neighbor Discovery Protocol (ND), Multicast
  Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD), and a subset of the Internet Control
  Message Protocol (ICMPv6).

  configured station address.

  Add or delete Neighbor cache entries.

  The Neighbors() function is used to add, update, or delete an entry from neighbor cache.
  IPv6 neighbor cache entries are typically inserted and updated by the network protocol driver as
  network traffic is processed. Most neighbor cache entries will time out and be deleted if the network
  traffic stops. Neighbor cache entries that were inserted by Neighbors() may be static (will not
  timeout) or dynamic (will time out).

  The implementation should follow the neighbor cache timeout mechanism which is defined in
  RFC4861. The default neighbor cache timeout value should be tuned for the expected network
  environment
