175 IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd; draft-ietf-softwire-ipv6-6rd) builds upon
176 mechanisms of 6to4 (RFC3056) to enable a service provider to rapidly
177 deploy IPv6 unicast service to IPv4 sites to which it provides
178 customer premise equipment. Like 6to4, it utilizes stateless IPv6 in
179 IPv4 encapsulation in order to transit IPv4-only network
180 infrastructure. Unlike 6to4, a 6rd service provider uses an IPv6
181 prefix of its own in place of the fixed 6to4 prefix.
