AnswerClick to flip back
A
tunneling
💡 Explanation:
Tunneling is the correct answer because it is specifically the technique of encapsulating IPv6 packets within IPv4 packets. This allows IPv6 traffic to traverse IPv4-only networks during the transition period. Hashing is for data integrity, routing is packet forwarding, and NAT is address translation - none of these encapsulate one protocol inside another.
