Universal TUN/TAP device driver
TUN provides packet reception and transmission for user space programs. It can be viewed as a simple Point-to-Point or Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical medium, receives them from a user space program and instead of sending packets via physical media writes them to the user space program.
