/** @file
This file defines the EFI IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)
Protocol interface. It is split into the following three main
sections:
- EFI IPv6 Service Binding Protocol
- EFI IPv6 Variable (deprecated in UEFI 2.4B)
- EFI IPv6 Protocol
The EFI IPv6 Protocol provides basic network IPv6 packet I/O services,
which includes support for Neighbor Discovery Protocol (ND), Multicast
Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD), and a subset of the Internet Control
Message Protocol (ICMPv6).

Places a receiving request into the receiving queue.
The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue.
This function is always asynchronous.
The Token.Event field in the completion token must be filled in by the caller
and cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI IPv6 Protocol
driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event
is signaled.

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.
The Poll() function polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data
packets. Network drivers and applications can call the EFI_IP6_PROTOCOL.Poll()
function to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications
device and the transmit and receive queues.
In some systems the periodic timer event may not poll the underlying communications
device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing
incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are
experiencing packet loss should try calling the EFI_IP6_PROTOCOL.Poll() function
more often.
