Make use of the ebtables functionality to be able to filter certain parameters of icmpv6 packets. Extend the XML parser for icmpv6 types, type ranges, codes, and code ranges. Extend the nwfilter documentation, schema, and test cases. Being able to filter icmpv6 types and codes helps extending the DHCP snooper for IPv6 and filtering at least some parameters of IPv6's NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) packets. However, the filtering will not be as good as the filtering of ARP packets since we cannot check on IP addresses in the payload of the NDP packets.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
