6to4 and 6over4, while having unfortunately similar names, are quite
different things.
6to4 is a form of automatic IPv6 tunneling over IPv4. The IPv4 address of
the "home" end of the tunnel is encoded into the IPv6 prefix. See
draft-ietf-ngtrans-6to4-07.txt.
6over4 is another IPv6 over "foo", where "foo" in this case is a
multicast-enabled IPv4 network, instead of say Ethernet or FDDI. See RFC
2529.
My recollection is that an implementation of 6over4 for some BSD flavor
exists, since I recall someone performing some interoperability testing
between our implementation and that implementation. UCLA sounds familiar.
Aren't two interoperating implementations a requirement for Proposed
Standard? (RFC 2529 is at PS) I'm not aware of any others offhand, but it
wouldn't surprise me if there were some.
