IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) Profile (for Wireshark 3.4.0 and onwards)

For those of you who love Wireshark and are supporting IPv6, we would like to offer a great default profile for IPv6.  Consider for a moment what would be important in your network administration in IPv6:

• Certainly anything having to do with ICMPv6
• Being able to find packets with certain extension headers
• Being able to detect tunelled packets
• Being able to note packets with certain IPv6 Addresses

All this would be a great starting point, and you would want to have great colorization of things like neighbor discovery, ICMPv6 errors, etc.

This profile adds columns for Router Advertisement analysis.
