The problem is definitely solved disabling ipv6 at boot time by passing this 
command to the kernel at boot time (arg passed into the bootloader):
"disable.ipv6=1"

And by disabling it via sysctl : 
Into /etc/sysctl.conf :
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

And there the problem is definitely solved. 
Some kernel are set with build-in IPv6 driver and so, trying to disable it into 
modprobe.d/blacklist is inefficient because there is no IPv6 modules.
And for whom who do not want to reboot it's a pitty because the sysctl command 
is not enough.

For some guy's it'll be only a workaround because disabling IPv6 is not always 
what we want.
Finally, I'll be interested in how to sharply disable the multicast ICMPv6 
announcement.

Is IPv6 enabled?

        # lsmod | grep v6
        ipv6                  289352  38
        
Blacklist the Module

  # echo "blacklist ipv6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

and unload or reboot...
