I'm not an expert on the Microsoft implementation, but I've had some 
email conversations with the folks there and they seem very willing 
to answer questions about their code. I asked about the relay router 
name and they gave me this pointer:

The docs are somewhat difficult to dig out, but after some searching 
I found the following bits:

Main Page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/technologies/ipv6/default.mspx
Microsoft Research page
http://research.microsoft.com/msripv6/
IPv6 for W2K
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp
XP IPv6 FAQ:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/techinfo/administration/ipv6/default.asp
6to4 with the MSR stack:
http://research.microsoft.com/msripv6/docs/6to4.htm
Microsoft IPv6 lab paper:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/itsolutions/network/maintain/security/ipv6cfg.asp
IPv6/IPv4 coexistence and migration (leads to a .doc file):
http://www.microsoft.com/windows.netserver/technologies/ipv6/ipv6coexist.mspx

I think the best doc is probably the help files on the machine, but I 
don't run XP so I haven't had the opportunity to look at them. . .

Hope that helps,
Bill.
