PIm, thanks for your quicly answer, i'm using Cisco IOS 12.1 on my tunnel
broker service, sometimes when a tunnel is deleted and a new tunnel is
created with the same ipv6 i see on my routing table somethin' like:
IPv6 Routing Table - 412 entries
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, R - RIP, B - BGP
Timers: Uptime/Expires

C 3FFE:2C02::A023:EB14/127 [0/0]
  via ::, Tunnel188, 2d19h/never
  via ::, Tunnel219, 1d03h/never

But tunnel188 doesn't exist anymore, it was the old tunnel before the user
recreate another one.
Any suggestion?
