Use correct message type for ICMPv6 echo request #375

Closed lukaskoenen closed 1 year ago

ICMPv6 uses different message types compared to ICMPv4. So in order to allow ICMPv6 echo requests we have to use message type 128 instead of 8. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICMPv6 for reference.

I also opened a PR fixing this issue. See #374.
