Hmm, is not enough information published at
http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/IPv6-HOWTO/scripts/current/index.html#explanation
?
If yes, send an e-mail and I will add a little bit more.
IPV6INIT="yes" or "no" means, the IPv6 configuration data for this
interface will be configured (IPv6 enabled) or not (only IPv4).
IPV6FORWARDING="yes" or "no" is for use of a security feature of the
kernel. If you do not want to forward any IPv6 traffic receiving the host
through the specified interface, say "no" here, otherwise "yes".

No, this is the foreign IPv6 address of your IPv6-Point-to-Point tunnel,
normally not needed (only for IPv6-ping tests), see also
