IPv6 tunnel is a kind of transition mechanism to enable IPv6-only hosts to reach IPv4 services and
to allow isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each-other over IPv4-only infrastructure before
IPv6 completely supplants IPv4. It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native
dual-stack, where both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.
As a type of IPv6 tunnel, 6RD is used in the situation that your WAN connection is IPv4 while LAN
connection is IPv6. Choose “Interface Setup→6RD” menu.
