  1. TN transmits an Echo Request that has an IPv6 header with a Payload Length of 0x33(51).
  2. Observe the packets transmitted by the NUT.

  Echo Request Data is:

        IPv6 Header
            Version            = 6
            Traffic Class      = 0
            FlowLabel          = 0
            PayloadLength      = 0x33
            NextHeader         = 58 (ICMPv6)
            SourceAddress      = TN Local Address
            DestinationAddress = NUT Link Local Address

        ICMP Echo Request
            Type           = 128 (Echo Request)
            Code           = 0
            Checksum       = (auto)
            Identifier     = 0xffff
            SequenceNumber = 1
            PayloadData    = {0x01, ... , 0x2b}

JUDGEMENT

  The NUT must generate an Echo Reply, indicating successful processing of the packets.

  PASS: Echo Reply Received

        IPv6 Header
            Version             = 6
            Traffic Class       = 0
            FlowLabel           = 0
            PayloadLength       = 0x33
            NextHeader          = 58 (ICMPv6)
            SourceAddress       = NUT Link Local Address
            Destination Address = TN Link Local Address

        ICMP Echo Reply
            Type           = 129 (Echo Reply)
            Code           = 0
            Checksum       = (auto)
            Identifier     = 0xffff (same as Echo Request)
            SequenceNumber = 1 (same as Echo Request)
            PayloadData    = {0x01, ... , 0x2b} (same as Echo Request)
