6in4 is IPv6 encapsulated in IPv4 = protocol 41, typically used in manual tunnelling configuration and also in tunnel brokers and some other type of tunnels.
6to4 is an automatic transition mechanism that uses 6in4 to automatically create IPv6 tunnels using a special IPv6 prefix 2002::/16, appending the IPv4 public address to obtain a /48 for each IPv4 public address. It works very well for peer-to-peer, but it requires 6to4 relays for connecting to end-sites using any other kind of IPv6 connectivity (anything not-6to4).
