IP-HTTPS

IP over HTTPS ("IP-HTTPS", "MS-IPHTTPS") is a Microsoft network tunneling protocol. The IP-HTTPS protocol transports IPv6 packets across non-IPv6 networks. It does a similar job as the earlier 6to4 or Teredo tunneling mechanisms.

Microsoft preference when deciding between transition protocols

Microsoft used to discourage IP-HTTPS use because it was slow.[1]

For Windows Server 2012, Microsoft changed the internal workings of the protocol, and IP-HTTPS is now the "preferred IPv6 transition technology" for their "DirectAccess" VPN technology.[2]

gollark: I know! Write a browser extension which replaces `Christmas` with `potatOS Tau`.
gollark: As I said, you need console access, can't just type it into Discord.
gollark: Oh, for real life you need console access.
gollark: `.` increases timewarp speed, `,` decreases it, IIRC.
gollark: `tracks_played` is just the total number of tracks played since it started up, and `track.last_played` stores what `tracks_played` was when the track in question was lat played.

The problem with IP-HTTPS is that it should be considered, and is instantiated as, a protocol of last resort. [...] the primary reason being that it’s the lowest performing of the IPv6 transition technology protocols.
