Subject: (IPng 6148) Protocol Action: Generic Packet Tunneling in IPv6  Specification to Proposed Standard



The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Generic Packet Tunneling in
IPv6 Specification' <draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipv6-tunnel-08.txt> as a
Proposed Standard.  This document is the product of the IPNG Working
Group.  The IESG contact persons are Jeffrey Burgan and Thomas Narten.

 
Technical Summary
 
 This document specifies a method and generic mechanisms by which a
  packet is encapsulated and carried as payload within an IPv6 packet.
  The resulting packet is called an IPv6 tunnel packet. The forwarding
  path between the source and destination of the tunnel packet is called
  an IPv6 tunnel. The technique is called IPv6 tunneling. The document
  also discusses specific mechanisms for tunneling IPv6 and IPv4 packets.
