Title : Automatic Tunneling Setup for/with IPv6
Author(s) : J. Palet, M. Diaz
Filename : draft-palet-softwires-ats6-01.txt
Pages : 38
Date : 2006-1-18
This document presents the basis for a procedure that enables a host
or router to automatically setup an IPvX in IPvY tunnel. Basically,
the document considers several scenarios, from the most common today
"dominant IPv4" networks to new "dominant IPv6" networks, which can
even support the use of multicast.
A basic requirement is that the host or router is a dual stack node
and it will have either native IPv4-only access (dominant IPv4
network) or native IPv6-only access (dominant IPv6 network).
Consequently, either IPv6 will be transported in the existing IPv4-
only infrastructure, or IPv4 will be transported in the existing
IPv6-only infrastructure. Other combinations are possible, such as
IPv6 in IPv6 (for example to support IPv6 multicast in an IPv6-
unicast-only infrastructure).
The procedure follows the work from [1], [2], [3], [4] and mainly
[5], trying to be compliant with the requirements enumerated in those
documents.

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.
