  A Destination Unreachable message can be sent to the computer that is the source of a packet for any of the following reasons:

  The computer cannot find a route to the destination address.

  Communication with the destination address is administratively prohibited. For example, a firewall prevents delivery of packets to the destination.

  The destination address is unreachable.

  The destination port is unreachable. For example, there is no listener available for the packet's protocol.

  Neighbor Discovery is a process whereby host computers and routers can determine the addresses for neighbors known to reside on shared links. Part of this discovery process is accomplished using ICMP messages called Neighbor Solicitations and Neighbor Advertisements. Neighbor Solicitation messages are sent to discover the link-layer address of a neighbor or to verify that a neighbor is still reachable via a cached link-layer address. A Neighbor Advertisement that contains address information is sent in response to a solicitation or to announce an address change.

  Gets the number of Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) Neighbor Advertisement messages received.

  Before a host computer can send IP datagrams beyond its directly attached subnet, it must discover the address of at least one router on that subnet. This discovery can be accomplished using ICMP messages called Router Advertisements and Router Solicitations. An Advertisement message is sent by a router periodically to announce its presence and the addresses of its interfaces. When a computer connects to a network, rather than waiting to receive Router Advertisements, it can send Router Solicitations to request that routers send their advertisements immediately.

  Gets the number of Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) Router Advertisement messages received.

  A packet's Hop Limit determines how many times it can be forwarded before it is discarded. Each time a packet is forwarded, its Hop Limit value is decremented by one. When the Hop Limit reaches zero or when a router receives a packet with its Hop Limit set to zero, the packet is discarded and the source of the packet receives a Time Exceeded message indicating that the initial Hop Limit was too small or that the packet was caught in a routing loop.
