Packets sent on the tun* interfaces show up as data to be read on /dev/tun*.
Data written on /dev/tun* shows up as input packets on the tun* interfaces.
So, if you want to do UDP encapsulated tunnelling, you should do something like
open(/dev/tun0)
socket(...,SOCK_DGRAM,...);
bind();
connect();
while(1) {
select on the file and the socket
if data is available from the file, write it to the socket
if data is available from the socket, write it to the file
}
You probably want to make the MTU of the tun device 28 bytes less than the
path-MTU of the tunnel. You can do this with ioctl(...,TUNSIFINFO,...) on the
file.
