7.1.5 Tunneling over IPv4<br />

The key to a successful IPv6 transition is compatibility with the existing installed<br />

base of IPv4 hosts and routers. Maintaining compatibility with IPv4, while<br />

deploying IPv6, streamlines the task of transitioning the Internet to IPv6.<br />

In most deployment scenarios, the IPv6 routing infrastructure will be built-up over<br />

time. While the IPv6 infrastructure is being deployed, the existing IPv4 routing<br />

infrastructure can remain functional and can be used to carry IPv6 traffic.<br />
