Hi, Nicolas

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I can configure 6to4 tunnel by the 
following commands:

 ip tunnel add tun6to4 mode sit remote any local 1.202.252.122 ttl 64
 ip link set dev tun6to4 up
 ip -6 addr add 2002:01ca:fc7a::0012:0225:2122/128 dev tun6to4
 ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via ::192.88.99.1 dev tun6to4 metric 1

But the kernel can not identify the tunnel is 6to4 tunnel or 6in4 tunnel 
immediately. After the packets travel through this tunnel, the kernel 
can identify the type of the tunnel by check_6rd.

Is it right?
