Describe an overlay tunnel.

What will be an ideal response?


An overlay tunnel enables two IPv6 networks to connect over an existing IPv4 infrastructure, such as the Internet. In more precise terms, the routers that connect the IPv6 networks to the IPv4 infrastructure run dual stack-both IPv4 and IPv6-and can encapsulate the traffic from the local network into IPv4 packets. Those IPv4 packets travel over the IPv4 infrastructure and the router at the other end of the tunnel strips the IPv4 stuff off the packet and sends the remaining IPv6 packet on its merry way.
