1. TN2 transmits an ICMPv6 Echo Request to TN1's Site-local address with a first hop through the RUT.
The source address is TN2's Global address.
2. Observe the packets transmitted by the RUT.
Echo Request Data is:
IPv6 Header
Version = 6
Traffic Class = 0
FlowLabel = 0
PayloadLength = 16
NextHeader = 58 (ICMPv6)
SourceAddress = TN2 Global Address (Link1)
DestinationAddress = TN1 Site-local Address
ICMP Echo Request
Type = 128 (Echo Request)
Code = 0
Checksum = (auto)
Identifier = 0
SequenceNumber = 0
PayloadData = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08 }
PASS: The RUT must forward the Echo Request to TR1.
