Hello Genius/OpenflowPlugin teams,

In order to enable tempest IPv6 scenario tests with ODL/Netvirt, ping6
support for the Neutron router interfaces has to be supported.
This is currently a missing gap, so we could not enable tempest IPv6
scenario tests so far.

I was looking at this use-case and figured out that we can support ping6
similar to ping (in IPv4) by programming the necessary OVS flows that
auto-respond to ping6 requests from the VMs.

Following are the five dependent patches that are required to be merged in
GENIUS and OpenflowPlugin for this use-case.

I would appreciate if Openflowplugin and GENIUS teams take a look at the
following dependent patches so that I can propose the necessary changes in
Netvirt.

*OpenflowPlugin patches:*
1. Add Nicira extension support for matching IPv6 Src/Dst -
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/56969/
2. Bug 8535: Fix IPv6 OXMHeader Mask issue -
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/57694/

*GENIUS patches:*
1. Utility api to configure icmpv6 type -
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/57072/
2. Support for moving Src/Dest IPv6 addresses in NxRegMove action -
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/57027/
3. Support API that configures IPv6 address as sourceAddress -
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/57026/

Thank you,
