IP6_TNL_F_ALLOW_LOCAL_REMOTE allows tunnel traffic on ip6tnl devices
where the remote endpoint is a local host address.
Specifying "[no]allow-localremote" controls the
IP6_TNL_F_ALLOW_LOCAL_REMOTE flag on ip6tnl interfaces.
This is the user-space counterpart for kernel
commit 908d140a87a7 ("ip6_tunnel: Allow rcv/xmit even if remote address is a local address")

In the presence of firewalls which improperly block ICMP Unreachable
(including Fragmentation Required) messages, Path MTU Discovery is
prevented from working.
The workaround is to handle IPv4 payloads opaquely, ignoring the DF
bit.
Kernel commit 22a59be8b7693eb2d0897a9638f5991f2f8e4ddd ("net: ipv4:
Add ability to have GRE ignore DF bit in IPv4 payloads") is
complemented by this user-space changeset which exposes control of
this setting.

Enclosed patch fixes inappropriate uses of the .SS macro. Fuller explanation
in the change comment.
There are other problems in these pages that block lifting to
XML-DocBook, most notably in the command synopses. They will take
some creativity to fix. I'm working on it

Subject: [PATCH] Abolish presentation-level misuse of the .SS macro.
This change fixes most (but not all) fatal errors in attempts to lift
the iproute2 manual pages to XML-DocBook. Where .SS is still used it
is a real subsection header, not just a way to outdent and bold text.
Presentation-level instances are turned into .TP calls and tables.
The 'inherit/STRING' or 'inherit/00..ff' syntax indicates that the
TOS field of tunneled packets should be copied from the original IP
header, but for non-IP packets the value STRING or 00..ff should be
used instead. (This syntax is already used by 'ip tunnel show'.)
Also clarify the man page and the command usage text (particularly
that the TOS is not specified as a decimal number).
