/**
 * \ingroup ipv6
 *
 * \brief This class implements a tag that carries socket ancillary
 * data to the socket interface. This is used like
 * socket option of IP_PKTINFO/IPV6_PKTINFO in \RFC{3542}
 *
 * See also SocketIpv6TclassTag and SocketIpv6HopLimitTag
 *
 * This tag in the send direction is presently not enabled but we
 * would accept a patch along those lines in the future. To include
 * the nexthop in the send direction would increase the size of the
 * tag beyond 20 bytes, so in that case, we recommend that an
 * additional tag be used to carry the IPv6 next hop address.
