ok, in fact, I was following the implementation done by ng_teredo which
provide server and relay only. Miredo can act as client, relay and
serve, the first thing I'll do will be to setup a working
client/server/relay/ local network which will be used during my work.

ok, in fact I was looking for somethings portable. stf(4) device could
also be used :). Directly using device will also ease the work.

would the implementation be a part of stf(4) or a new pseudo-interface
(trd?) ? I mean, even if stf(4) and teredo will share some piece of code,
having two distinct interface (and C-source file) will ease future work
on both device.
