129	help
130	  Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).
131
132	  ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
133	  encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
134	  IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
135	  identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
136	  ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
137	  entity ("where").
138
139	  ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
140	  "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in

185	help
186	  IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
187	  mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
188	  deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
189	  customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
190	  IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
191	  infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
192	  prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
193
194	  With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
195	  providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
196	  stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.

220	  Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
221	  another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the
222	  encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements
223	  GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows
224	  encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure.
225	  This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
226	  likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
227	  tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
228	  through the tunnel.
