┌─────────────────────────────────────────── Universal TUN/TAP device driver support ────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_TUN: │
│ │
│ TUN/TAP 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 media, │
│ receives them from user space program and instead of sending packets │
│ via physical media writes them to the user space program. │
│ │
│ When a program opens /dev/net/tun, driver creates and registers │
│ corresponding net device tunX or tapX. After a program closed above │
│ devices, driver will automatically delete tunXX or tapXX device and │
│ all routes corresponding to it. │
│ │
│ Please read <file

ocumentation/networking/tuntap.txt> for more │
│ information. │
│ │
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module │
│ will be called tun.
