  1. TN transmits an Echo Request that has a Destination options header with four unknown Options.
     The Optins Types are 7, 199, 71, and 135.
  2. Observe the packets transmitted by the NUT.

  Echo Request Data is:

        IPv6 Header
            Version            = 6
            Traffic Class      = 0
            FlowLabel          = 0
            PayloadLength      = 48
            NextHeader         = 0 (Hop-by-Hop Options Header)
            SourceAddress      = TN Link Local Address
            DestinationAddress = NUT Link Local Address

        Destination Options Header
            NextHeader         = 58 (ICMPv6)
            HeaderExtLength    = 3

            OptionType         = 0x07 (Unrecognized Option, Type 00)
            OptDataLength      = 4
            data               = {0, 0, 0, 0}

            OptionType         = 0xc7 (Unrecognized Option, Type 11)
            OptDataLength      = 6
            data               = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

            OptionType         = 0x47 (Unrecognized Option, Type 01)
            OptDataLength      = 6
            data               = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

            OptionType         = 0x87 (Unrecognized Option, Type 10)
            OptDataLength      = 6
            data               = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

        ICMP Echo Request
            Type           = 128 (Echo Request)
            Code           = 0
            Checksum       = (auto)
            Identifier     = 0xffff
            SequenceNumber = 1
            PayloadData    = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

JUDGEMENT

  PASS: The NUT must send an ICMPv6 Parameter Problem message to TN.
        THe Code field must be 2(unrecognized IPv6 Option encountered).
        The Pointer field must be 0x30(offset of the Option Type field of the second option).
        The NUT must discard the Echo Request sent by TN and must not send a Reply.

        IPv6 Header
            Version             = 6
            Traffic Class       = 0
            FlowLabel           = 0
            PayloadLength       = 96
            NextHeader          = 58 (ICMPv6)
            SourceAddress       = NUT Link Local Address
            Destination Address = TN Link Local Address

        ICMP Error
            Type           = 4 (Parameter Problem)
            Code           = 2 (unrecognized IPv6 option encountered)
            Checksum       = (auto)
            Pointer        = 48 (Offset to Option Type field of 2nd option)
            PayloadData    = (Sent Packet)
