  EFI TCPv6(Transmission Control Protocol version 6) Protocol Definition
  The EFI TCPv6 Service Binding Protocol is used to locate EFI TCPv6 Protocol drivers to create
  and destroy child of the driver to communicate with other host using TCP protocol.
  The EFI TCPv6 Protocol provides services to send and receive data stream.

  Initialize or brutally reset the operational parameters for this EFI TCPv6 instance.

  - Reset this TCP instance brutally, i.e., cancel all pending asynchronous tokens, flush
    transmission and receiving buffer directly without informing the communication peer.

  it is configured properly. For an active TCP instance, after a proper configuration it
  may call Connect() to initiates the three-way handshake. For a passive TCP instance,
  its state will transit to Tcp6StateListen after configuration, and Accept() may be
  called to listen the incoming TCP connection requests. If Tcp6ConfigData is set to NULL,
  the instance is reset. Resetting process will be done brutally, the state machine will
  be set to Tcp6StateClosed directly, the receive queue and transmit queue will be flushed,
