Tunneling IPv6 packets over the IPv4 Internet played a major role in
the early stages of IPv6 deployment. This was useful because in the
early days the routers in the internet did not support IPv6.
Nowadays, tunneling is used to get across legacy equipment and ISPs
that do not support IPv6. Many different tunneling mechanisms have
been invented. This document describes the drivers for IPv6
tunneling, the general architectures of existing mechanisms, and a
set of desirable properties against which subsequent analysis of the
mechanisms may be made. The document is aimed at small end sites
that may typically utilise tunneling methods in an early IPv6
deployment.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
