Pleas= e let me know if you have any concern about this. File to remove: NetworkPkg\Application\IfConfig6\* NetworkPkg\Application\Ping6\* Actively maintained in future: ShellPkg\Library\UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib\Ifconfig6.c ShellPkg\Library\UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib\Ping6.c The usage and parameter format of these 2 versions are exactly same. The co= de in ShellPkg is actively maintained now, some bug fixes were only applied= to the ShellPkg version in the past year. Users should use the standard ve= rsion in ShellPkg in future. I will send out patch to remove the IfConfig6 and Ping6 applications in Net= workPkg in next few days if no object to this email. BestRegards Fu Siyuan
