129 Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA).
130
131 ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
132 encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
133 IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
134 identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
135 ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
136 entity ("where").
137
138 ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
139 "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
140 https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

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

224 This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco
225 likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP
226 tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution
227 through the tunnel.
