Two is used in the wrong context here, as you are connecting to an IPv6 network over IPv4; not connecting two IPv6 networks to an IPv4 one.

Your email client corrupted the patch, it has turned tab characters into spaces.
You should also be sure to post your networking patches to [email protected] as that's where the networking developers listen.
Please also provide a proper Signed-off-by: line for your patch (see linux/Docuemtnation/SubmittingPatches, section 5).
Thanks.

NAK. The text correctly describes the scenario. You have two IPv6
networks, between which you set up a SIT tunnel which transmits data between the two networks encapsulated in IPv4 packets. If you find the text not self-explanatory, then perhaps the sentence could be rewritten as follows:
"This is useful if you want to connect two IPv6 networks to each other over an IPv4-only path."

This patch is already in Linus's tree, someone send me a revert if they want it changed back.
