    There's a small error in this pat of the summary. It is not the case
    that stf interfaces are created instead of stf0 interfaces in all cases.
    Here's a table showing the changes.

    Command DEV Version
    ifconfig stf stf0 old
    ifconfig stf0 stf0 old
    ifconfig 6to4 <fail> old
    ifconfig stf stf new
    ifconfig stf0 stf0 new
    ifconfig 6to4 6to4 new
