A protocol for transitioning from IPv4 toIPv6. Networks may use 6to4 (or other transitioning protocols)until they support native dual-stack.Because 6to4 is a form of tunnelling, it requiresencapsulation by a protocol converter. This can causeperformance problems due to increased latency and decreasedMTU sizes, as described in RFC 6343(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6343).RFC 3056 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3056).
