Hi Baptiste,
that depends on what you mean by reachable. Even for ICMPv6 ping (which is
used with the shell ping command) you need some "server", that handles the
request and issues a reply. If that server is not present the node will not
reply to pings, even if it is reachable in the sense that you can send IPv6
packets to it and it will handle them (to see what I mean comment out the
`USEMODULE += gnrc_icmpv6_echo` line in gnrc_networking's Makefile for the
receiver, you will be able to still send UDP packets, but ping will always
fail).
If there is a server running somewhere you can just use conn (note that
timeouts are not possible with conn, if you need them use sock [1] instead
[which is also a little easier to handle]):

Did not test the application, but I hope you get the idea.
