The automatic tunneling uses addresses of the form ::<IPv4>, so if you detect that the destination is of this form, means that the packet should be 'automatically' encapsulated.

My idea is this when ever an ipv6 packet is to be sent over an ipv4 cloud then i should call the gif_output() in the nd6_output().

In this case if i have to send the packet through an ipv4 cloud then i should specify the interface so that gif_output() is called. > > Kindly tell is there a way for me to find that the packet is to be tunneled in advance. > > regards > ravi prasad > __________________________________________________________________ > Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message -- ********************************* Juan F.
