Specifically, a 6to4 address, with 198.144.140.198 (otherwise known as 
c690:8cc6) as the IPv4 endpoint of the tunnel. This was originally 
specified in RFC 3056 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3056.txt), but 
more recently there has been an informational RFC 
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6343.txt) enumerating the many 
problems associated with 6to4, and casting doubt on its long-term 
viability as an IPv4-to-IPv6 transition mechanism
