Prefix Length
— The length of the IPv6 prefix. This field is applicable
only when the destination address is defined as a global IPv6 address.
Next Hop
— The type of address to which the packet is forwarded on
the route to the Destination address (typically the address of a
neighboring router). This can be either a
Link Local
or
Global
IPv6
address.
Interface
— The interface that is used to forward the packet. Interface
refers to any Port, LAG or VLAN.
Route
Type
— Specifies whether the destination is directly-attached
and the means by which the entry was learned. The possible options
are:
Local
— A directly-connected route entry.
Static
— Manually configured route, supported only for default
gateway, learned through the Neighbor Discover (ND) process.
ICMP
— The route was learned through ICMP Redirect
messages, sent by the router.
ND
— Route was learned by the ND protocol from Router
Advertisement messages.
Metric
— The cost value used for comparing this route to other routes
with the same destination in the IPv6 route table.
Life-Time
— The timeout interval of the route if no activity takes
place. Infinite means the address is never deleted.

A static route is displayed in the IPv6 Route table only if the IPv6 interface,

ISATAP Tunnel
To deliver IPv6 addresses in an IPv4 network, a tunneling process must be
defined that encapsulates IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets.
The Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) is an IPv6
transition mechanism that is used to transmit IPv6 packets between
dual-stack nodes (nodes that can accept both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses) on top
of an IPv4 network.
