Right, thanks. That's the first conceptual model from §3.1. I was merely 
wondering if it was recommended that 6to4, Teredo (and ISATAP?) use the 
first or the second model... it does not make much sense, I think, to 
have different model implemented by different nodes since they are all 
part of the same multi-point pseudo-tunnel.

Anyway, I'm afraid this is hardly implementable in practice, since there 
is no IPv4-equivalent of the sendmsg() IPV6_TCLASS option, but that's 
slightly off-topic.
