RFC 4389 - Neighbor Discovery Proxies (ND Proxy)
...
section
4.1.3.3. ICMPv6 Router Advertisements
The following special processing is done for IPv6 Router
Advertisements (RAs).
A new "Proxy" bit is defined in the existing Router Advertisement
flags field as follows:
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|M|O|H|Prf|P|Rsv|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where "P" indicates the location of the Proxy bit, and "Rsv"
indicates the remaining reserved bits.
The proxy determines an "upstream" proxy interface, typically through
a (zero-configuration) physical choice dictated by the scenario (see
Scenarios 1 and 2 above), or through manual configuration.
When an RA with the P bit clear arrives on the upstream interface,
the P bit is set when the RA is proxied out all other ("downstream")
proxy interfaces (see Section 6).

fyi.. will work later on getting icmpv6 dissector (EFO type#26) RFC5175
