+SixXS AICCU: Automatic IPv6 Connectivity Configuration Utility
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+AICCU makes it very easy for anybody to get IPv6 connectivity
+everywhere they want. It uses the TIC (Tunnel Information & Control)
+protocol to request the information needed to setup a tunnel through
+which the connectivity is created.
+
+AICCU supports the following tunneling protocols:
+ - 6in4 static (RFC 2893)
+ - 6in4 heartbeat (RFC 2893 + draft-massar-v6ops-heartbeat)
+ - AYIYA (draft-massar-v6ops-ayiya)
+
+As AYIYA even works from behind NAT's, thus unless there is a very
+restrictive firewall in place, anybody should be able to get IPv6
+connectivity without problems and everywhere they want.
+
+WARNING: never run AICCU from DaemonTools or a similar automated
+'restart' tool/script. When AICCU does not start, it has a reason
+not to start which it gives on either the stdout or in the (sys)log
+file. The TIC server *will* automatically disable accounts which
+are detected to run in this mode.
