To quote from the draft (anyone read it?:-)
" 6rd [RFC5969] utilizes the same encapsulation and base mechanism as
6to4, and could be viewed as a superset of 6to4 (6to4 could be
achieved by setting the 6rd prefix to 2002::/16). However, the
deployment model is such that 6rd can avoid the problems described
here. In this sense, 6rd can be viewed as superseding 6to4 as
described in section 4.2.4 of [RFC2026]"
yes, but that part of the draft is false. 6to4 and 6rd have different use
cases. It's not as if I can install 6rd on my laptop and be able to talk to
IPv6 hosts.
6rd good; 6to4 {as described in section 4.2.4 of [RFC2026]} bad.
6to4 awesome. it's those BGP advertisements for broken relay routers, and
those ISPs that filter protocol 41 that are bad.
