Ipv4 compatible ipv6 tunnels were initially specified in rfc 2893, along with configured tunnels. Tunneling encapsulates ipv6 traffic within ipv4 packets so they can be sent over an ipv4 backbone, allowing isolated ipv6 end systems and routers to communicate without the need to upgrade the ipv4 infrastructure that exists between them.
