This document defines a tunneling protocol that can be encapsulated in any
other protocol. Using authentication tokens multiple tunnels can be created
from behind the same NAT. The tokens allow one to identify the sender of
the packet thus making it possible to automatically switch over the
endpoint. This protocol is intended as an alternative to the proto-41
protocol in use for tunneling IPv6 over IPv4 packets over the internet. Due
to the authentication this protocol is especially useful for dynamic
non-24/7 endnodes which are located behind NATs and want to use for
instance a IPv6 Tunnel Broker. The protocol can carry any payload and thus
is not limited to only IPv6 over IPv4 but can also be used for IPv4 over
IPv6 and many other combinations of protocols.
