This adds (create) a new tunnel interface called test, of type sit (i don't
know what sit means, but it's the standard ipv6-over-v4 afaik), using
ip <box-1-ipv4> as the local end of the tunnel and <box-2-ipv4> as the
other (remote) end...

Similar to ifconfig test up. It activates the just created tunneling
interface...

It adds a new IPv6 address (and automagic route) to the tunnel interface...
> # > ip ro add <prefix::2>/64 dev test
I supposse that isn't required. It adds a new route (but, afaik, it's equal to
the automagic one added by the "addr add"...)
