-HOW TO SET UP AN IPV6 TUNNEL
-----------------------------
-
-ASSUMPTIONS
------------
-
-1. You're running Red Hat Linux 7.1 or later.
-
- This is required for correct IPv6 by default settings, and IPv6 being
- enabled as a kernel module by default. You also need recent enough
- initscripts, provided in RHL71.
-
-2. You have a static, globally unique IPv4 address.
-
-3. Protocol 41 (IPv6-in-IPv4) is not being filtered in any IPv4 firewall.
-
-4. 'iproute' package is installed. This is used by default for a lot
- more powerful tunneling capabilities.
-
-INFORMATION NEEDED
-------------------
-
-You need to know:
-
-1. The IPv4 address of your tunnel end point
-2. The IPv6 address used in your tunnel
-
-The other end needs to know the same things about your setup.
-
-NOTE: It is also possible to set up unnumbered tunnels (no global IPv6
-addresses).
-
-You must get these from a party (tunnel broker) who's assigning IPv6 tunnels. See:
-http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO-1.html#joinIPv6backbone
-
-Example from http://old.freenet6.net:
----
-This script will create a tunnel between this computer
-and the Freenet6 server (tunnels server)
-Your IPv6 address (your tunnel end point) is
-3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f5
-We establish a tunnel to the Freenet6 server at
-3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f4
-Your IPv4 address is : 193.xxx.yyy.zzz
-The IPv4 address of the Freenet6 server is : 206.123.31.102
----
-
-With this information, a tunnel can be set up:
-
-SETTING UP THE TUNNEL CONFIGURATION
------------------------------------
-
-Now, set up the configuration as follows:
-
-1. Enable IPv6 and set tunnel as default gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network:
-
- echo "IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1">> /etc/sysconfig/network
-
-2. Create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1, with the following:
-
----
-DEVICE=sit1
-BOOTPROTO=none
-ONBOOT=yes
-IPV6INIT=yes
-IPV6TUNNELIPV4=206.123.31.102
-IPV6ADDR=3ffe:b00:c18:1fff:0:0:0:7f5/128
----
-
-NOTE: You must use _sit1_ (or sit2,...). sit0 cannot be used, this is a
-special device.
-
-NOTE: Some tunnel endpoints might require a different kind of prefix length;
-for example, Cisco's usually favour /126. Using /0 creates a default route
-through that interface.
-
-NOTE: If you're not directly connected to the Internet, you may want to use
-ONBOOT=no instead.
-
-TUNNELING
----------
-
-Tunnel can be brought up and down with:
-
- ifup sit1
- ifdown sit1
-
-NOTE: In initscripts < 6.02 (ie. IPV6_TUNNELMODE=NBMA), even though sit1 is used,
-'ip' sees the tunnel as sit0. This is due to an "interesting" implementation
-of tunneling -- else multiple tunnels couldn't be used extensibly.
-
-NOTE: iproute tools give more reliable data, try e.g. '/sbin/ip addr ls'.

-http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/IPv6-HOWTO.html is a good
-source of IPv6 related Linux-information.
