I see, thanks for the explanation.One follow-up question: Why is the designation "6to4" rather than "IANA"? I would have expected the latter, as 2002::/16---similarly to the individual parts of 2001::/23---is listed under IANA's IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry.
Thanks in advance, Lars[1] https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv6-special-registry/iana-ipv6-special-registry.xhtml

But I'm sure that *some* ISP or company out there is still using it as their main strategy for migrating to IPv6.
