pcapkit.protocols.internet.ipv6_frag contains IPv6_Frag only, which implements extractor for Fragment Header for IPv6 (IPv6-Frag) *, whose structure is described as below:

Octets	Bits	Name	Description
0	0	frag.next	Next Header
1	8		Reserved
2	16	frag.offset	Fragment Offset
3	29		Reserved
3	31	frag.mf	More Flag
4	32	frag.id	Identification
