+
+At this phase, implemented scanning of network for IPv6 enabled neighbors and ping nearby devices from the console. +
+Next phase, planned support at the CPP server. +
+The advantage of those methods is that they can be easily extended to simulate lots of clients in automation.
+
+*Scanning example:*

+
+*Ping example:*

+
+Those utilities (available from API as well) can help user to configure next hop.
+From the console, one could set "l2" destination MAC taken from the scan6 result:

+
+For setting own IPv6, we use local address as described in link:https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3513.txt[RFC 3513]. +
+For scanning of network, we ping the multicast address ff02::1 and establish connection via NS/ND conversations.
