IPv6 : a sequence of ping6

ICMPv6, described in the IPv6 chapter of Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice is a companion protocol for IPv6 that is used for various functions including network debugging. ping6 is a popular debugging tool that allows to verify whether a remote host is up and running. For this, it sends an ICMPv6 Echo request that contains some information and waits for an ICMPv6 Echo reply.

Paste this command into your terminal:

The password to connect is

Reorder ICMPv6 messages

Can you reorder the packets that were captured while a host was using ping6 to verify the reachability of destination 2001:6a8:3081:1::2 ?
