Add support for IPv6 on OS X/BSD #14

Closed daenney closed 8 years ago

daenney commented 8 years ago

Though prettyping works out of the box with v6 on Linux the BSD ping6 utility has slightly different output.

In ICMPv6 what we know as the TTL in IPv4 is known as the hop limit, or hlim in the output. It also uses a comma after the IP instead of a colon as that can get a bit confusing with IPv6 addresses.
