+= Overview =
+
+== Pluggable Transports ==
+
+The goal is to decouple protocol-level obfuscation from the core Tor protocol in order to better resist client-bridge censorship.  Our approach is to specify a means to add pluggable transport implementations to Tor clients and bridges so that they can negotiate a superencipherment for the Tor protocol.
+
+== IPv6 Integration into Tor ==
+
+Tor uses the Internet in many ways.  There are three main ways that will
+need to change for IPv6 support, from most urgent to least urgent.
+
+ - Tor must allow connections from IPv6-only clients. (Currently, routers and bridges do not listen on IPv6 addresses, and can't advertise that they support IPv6 addresses, so clients can't learn that they do.)
+
+ - Tor must transport IPv6 traffic and IPv6-related DNS traffic.
+
+ - Tor must allow nodes to connect to one another over IPv6.
+
+Allowing IPv6-only clients is the most important, since unless we do, these clients will be unable to connect to Tor at all.  Next most important is to support IPv6 DNS related dependencies and exiting to IPv6 services. Finally, allowing Tor nodes to support a dual stack of both IPv4 and IPv6 for interconnection seems like a reasonable step towards a fully hybrid IPv4/IPv6 Tor network.
