10 This is complemental support for the IP version 6.
11 You will still be able to do traditional IPv4 networking as well.

13 For general information about IPv6, see
14 <http://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng/html/ipng-main.html>.
15 For Linux IPv6 development information, see <http://www.linux-ipv6.org>.
16 For specific information about IPv6 under Linux, read the HOWTO at
17 <http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/>.

19 To compile this protocol support as a module, choose M here: the
20 module will be called ipv6.

173 Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within
174 another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the

177 networks over an IPv4-only path.

201 Enable routing by source address or prefix.

203 The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing
204 normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table
205 may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior. This can be
206 avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and
207 source prefix specific routes.
