Before discussing 6to4 Anycast relay, here’s a quick review of IP Version 4 and IP Version 6.

IPv4-to-IPv6 or Internet Protocol Version 4 to Version 6, also known as 6to4, Relay Router Anycast routers advertise anycast address prefix into IPv4 network where IPv4 packets are routed to nearest 6to4 relay router and then to IPv6 network.

Tree distribution can be triggered (created) based on:

• Multicast data distribution by sender

• Receivers joining a multicast distribution group
