Thanks for that good sentence, will update accordingly.

Ok, thanks.

Will merge the rte_icmp6.h into rte_icmp.h, then no rte_icmp6.h any more.

Hi Thomas,
Looks like, using rte_icmp_hdr as base header for both icmp and icmpv6 is not that good. 
since, rte_icmp_hdr default their headers always having id and sequence fields, which is not applicable for most other icmp6/icmp types packets.

I may suggest to keep icmp and icmp6 structures independent against each other, because, looks like these two protocols definitions do not share common base.

Yes, good idea. rte_ip.h does not have independent v6 header file either.
We should not create v6 header file for icmp.
