+## Docker in Docker
+
+On a host using `xtables` (legacy `iptables`) instead of `nftables`, kernel
+module `ip6_tables` must be loaded before an IPv6 Docker network can be created,
+It is normally loaded automatically when Docker starts.
+
+However, if you running Docker in Docker that is not based on a recent
+version of the [official `docker` image](https://hub.docker.com/_/docker), you
+may need to run `modprobe ip6_tables` on your host. Alternatively, use daemon
+option `--ip6tables=false` to disable `ip6tables` for the containerized Docker
+Engine.
