 * \ingroup ipv6

 * \brief IPv6 layer implementation.
 *
 * This class contains two distinct groups of trace sources.  The
 * trace sources 'Rx' and 'Tx' are called, respectively, immediately
 * after receiving from the NetDevice and immediately before sending
 * to a NetDevice for transmitting a packet.  These are low level
 * trace sources that include the Ipv6Header already serialized into
 * the packet.  In contrast, the Drop, SendOutgoing, UnicastForward,
 * and LocalDeliver trace sources are slightly higher-level and pass
 * around the Ipv6Header as an explicit parameter and not as part of
 * the packet.
