Currently ICMPv6 echo messages are rather useless as it's impossible to determine whether a reply was received without debug output turned on. This allows to register a function as a ICMPv6 echo reply handler that gets called whenever a echo reply has been received.

I would vote for a thread based implementation, as seen in ip and lowpan, since this is the "RIOT way" |

You are probably right, but I dislike the overhead of having a thread dedicated to ping replies :\ |

I was thinking more of a general ICMPv6 thread or to include it into the IPv6 thread and return special flags for ICMP packets. |
