 102
 103           ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without
 104           encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an
 105           IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The
 106           identifier is the identity of an entity in communication
 107           ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the
 108           entity ("where").
 109
 110           ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with
 111           "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in
 112           https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00.

 181           networks over an IPv4-only path.

 190           IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
 191           mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
 192           deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
 193           customer premise equipment.  Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
 194           IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
 195           infrastructure.  Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
 196           prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
 197
 198           With this option enabled, the SIT driver offers 6rd functionality by
 199           providing additional ioctl API to configure the IPv6 Prefix for in
 200           stead of static 2002::/16 for 6to4.

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

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