Abstract

  The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) connects
  IPv6 hosts/routers over IPv4 networks via automatic tunneling using a
  link abstraction similar to the Non-Broadcast, Multiple Access (NBMA)
  model. This document describes operational extensions for ISATAP that
  enable a dynamic tunnel interface management abstraction similar to
  the ATM Permanent/Switched Virtual Circuit model. Nodes can use these
  extensions to realize mobility, multihoming and efficiency
  improvements not available via the ISATAP base specification alone
