Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libtuntap is a library for configuring TUN or TAP devices in a portable manner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TUN and TAP are virtual networking devices which allow userland applications
|
||
|
|
to receive packets sent to it. The userland applications can also send their
|
||
|
|
own packets to the devices and they will be forwarded to the kernel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is useful for developping tunnels, private networks or virtualisation
|
||
|
|
systems.
