Other Changes from IPv4

Transition From IPv4 To IPv6

Tunneling

Send a packet from IPV6, in the future:

┌───┐   ┌───┐                                   ┌───┐   ┌───┐
│ A │···│ B │···································│ E │···│ F │
└───┘   └───┘           IPv6 Internet           └───┘   └───┘
IPv6    IPv6                                    IPv6    IPv6

In these primitive times:

┌───┐   ┌───┐   ┌───┐                   ┌───┐   ┌───┐   ┌───┐
│ A │···│ B │···│ C │···················│ D │···│ E │···│ F │
└───┘   └───┘   └───┘   IPv4 Internet   └───┘   └───┘   └───┘
IPv6    IPv6    IPv4                    IPv4    IPv6    IPv6

C & D are IPv4/IPv6 gateways, which wrap/unwrap the IPv6 packet in an IPv4 packet, much as a TCP packet is wrapped in an IP packet.
