Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.

To use temporary addresses, do

Tunneling means encapsulating data of one protocol type within

another protocol and sending it over a channel that understands the

encapsulating protocol. This driver implements encapsulation of IPv6

networks over an IPv4-only path.

The destination address is still the primary routing key, so mixing

normal and source prefix specific routes in the same routing table

may sometimes lead to unintended routing behavior. This can be

avoided by defining different routing tables for the normal and

source prefix specific routes.
