What is a tunnel adapter auto tunneling

I just got my alien back from warranty repair and in doing an ipconfig /all
I now have a "Tunnel adapter Automatic Tunneling Pseudo - Interface" with an
ip address of fe80: :5efe: (my ip address) %2
and dns servers fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1
What the heck is this Stuff.....

They installed IPv6 with the Advanced Networking Pack aka Peer-to-Peer
Networking. see:
