  • add the ability to use IPv6 addresses as endpoints
  • use the IPv6 addresses in interfaces
  • extend the payload to hold IPv6 addresses
  • to store the IPv6 address, we use two uint64_t types
  • IPv4 addresses are stored in the lower part, with higher part set to all zeros
  • as multicast IPv6 addresses start with ff, we can distinguish IPv4 and IPv6
