/** @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).

  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

  traffic stops. Neighbor cache entries that were inserted by Neighbors() may be static (will not
  timeout) or dynamic (will time out).
