Hmm, when I try to access the doc, I get:

Resource Not Found
We're sorry. The resource /os/project/clearview/docs/iptunnelrev.pdf
could not be found. Please check the URL for proper spelling and
capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a page on this site,
try visiting the OpenSolaris home page. 

The iptunnelrev.pdf attachment appears to be missing from the docs page.

The 6to4relay command and its semantics are unaltered by this project.
Only its internal implementation.

Great, I'm looking forward to reading it.

Sounds good.  I'll read through this when the document becomes
available.
