IPv6 Tunnel Broker
RFC 3053, “IPv6 Tunnel Broker”, is an Informational document published in January 2001 by A. Durand, P. Fasano, I. Guardini, D. Lento. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The motivation for the development of the tunnel broker model is to help early IPv6 adopters to hook up to an existing IPv6 network (e.g., the 6bone) and to get stable, permanent IPv6 addresses and DNS names. The concept of the tunnel broker was first presented at Orlando's IETF in December 1998. Two implementations were demonstrated during the Grenoble IPng & NGtrans interim meeting in February 1999. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
