Support for IPv6 Identifier Locator Addressing (ILA). ILA is a mechanism to do network virtualization without encapsulation. The basic concept of ILA is that we split an IPv6 address into a 64 bit locator and 64 bit identifier. The identifier is the identity of an entity in communication ("who") and the locator expresses the location of the entity ("where"). ILA can be configured using the "encap ila" option with "ip -6 route" command. ILA is described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-nvo3-ila-00. If unsure, say N. |

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

Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the encapsulating protocol. This particular tunneling driver implements GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) and at this time allows encapsulating of IPv4 or IPv6 over existing IPv6 infrastructure. This driver is useful if the other endpoint is a Cisco router: Cisco likes GRE much better than the other Linux tunneling driver ("IP tunneling" above). In addition, GRE allows multicast redistribution through the tunnel. Saying M here will produce a module called ip6_gre. If unsure, say N. |
