    10.1.2 IPv6 tunnel Overview IPv6 transition mechanism Before the IPv6 network is widely deployed, IPv6 stations are like isolated islands. Therefore, the dual stack and tunneling technologies are developed to achieve the communications between IPv6 islands. Dual stack technology ◼ With the dual stack technology, nodes within the network support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stack.
  • Page 111 Manual and automatic tunnels Generally, a tunnel consists of three parts: the tunnel start node, which encapsulates IPv6 packets; the tunnel end point, which decapsulates IPv6 packets; the tunnel, which is actually an IPv4 path, starts the encapsulated IPv6 packets from the tunnel The node is transported to the end of the tunnel.
  • Page 112 6to4 tunnel 6to4 is an automatic tunneling technology that enables communication between isolated IPv6 islands and between sites within the IPv6 backbone and IPv6 backbone networks without the network operator providing IPv6 interconnection services. The 6to4 tunnel technology is used to establish a tunnel between border routers at an IPv6 site. The border router at the source site is the start node of the tunnel, and the border router at the destination site is the end point of the tunnel.
