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