Hello all,

RFC 6751 is now  available at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6751).
It describes a new tunneling solution for providers to offer IPv6 service behind IPv4-only CPEs. Like 6rd, 6a44 is a provider-local solution using provider allocated prefixes. As such, it has over Teredo an advantage similar to that of 6rd over 6to4. 

Because it couldn't fit in any WG scope, and in order to avoid too long a delay, the choice has been to submit it in the independent stream, and consequently with experimental status. 
In view of its obvious commonality with Softwire solutions, drawing attention of this WG to its existence is expected to be useful. 

This is ONLY for information, NOT to start any discussion here.
 
Regards,
RD
