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
141 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

160 Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within

162 encapsulating protocol. This can be used with xfrm mode tunnel to give

YH
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.

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.

253 The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing

255 may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior. This can be
