Abstract
A connection to a private network may use an IPv6 tunneling client to connect to a corresponding IPv6 tunneling router at the edge of the private network. The client may be configured to automatically establish a tunneling connection and may have a routing table for routing IPv6 addresses for hosts within the private network through the tunneling connection. The client may be connected to an IPv4 or IPv6 connection outside the private network. The connection between the IPv6 tunneling client and IPv6 tunneling router may be an authenticated and secure connection.
