6in4 (tunneling from IPv6 to IPv4) is an IPv6 transition mechanism for the transmission of IPv6 data packets between IPv6 nodes connected via an IPv4 network.
functionality
With 6in4, the data traffic is packed into IPv4 data packets, the protocol number of which has the decimal value 41 in the IP header . The transported IPv6 data packet follows the IPv4 header directly. The IPv4 header only increases the data packet by 20 bytes. With a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of 1500 bytes, as is the case with standard Ethernet connections, IPv6 frames with 1480 bytes can be transported without fragmentation . Like all proto-41 tunnels, 6in4 tunnels are static, i.e. the end points are configured statically.
