+Freenet6's TSP is a new initiative launched by Viagenie, a private
+company in Canada involved in IPv6 since 1996, to facilitate a
+faster deployment of an Internet IPv6. Internet is world-wide
+deployed over IPv4, therefore this project has the main goal of
+deploying IPv6 at a larger scale by using configured tunnels.
+
+Configured tunnel is a transitional method standardized by the IETF
+to use IPv6 in coexistence with IPv4 by encapsulating IPv6 packets
+over IPv4. Any host already connected to Internet with IPv4 and
+having an IPv6 stack could establish link to Internet IPv6.
+
+Freenet6, developed by Viagenie in 1999-2000, was the first public
+tunnel server service and one of the most used in the world to
+delegate automatically one single IPv6 address to any host already
+connected to an IPv4 network over configured tunnel simply by
+filling a Web form and running a script. Freenet6's TSP is representing
+another very important step to accelerate the deployment at large
+scale of IPv6 to everyone on the net.
+
+Instead of a Web interface to request configured tunnels and IPv6
+addresses, Freenet6's TSP is a new model based on a client/server
+approach. A protocol is used to request one single IPv6 address to
+a full IPv6 prefix from a client to a tunnel server according to
+the IPv6 broker model. The protocol could be integrated directly
+into the operating system to give a service like DHCP but for
+requesting IPv6 addresses or prefixes over an IPv4 network (Internet).
