I would like to have information about IP tunneling with FreeBSD.

I would like to encapsulate my IP packets in IP+UDP packets. I was told
that FreeBSD has a general support for IP tunneling. I think I found
some code for IP tunneling (net/if_tun.c) but I do not know how to use
it, and I did not find detailed documentation about IP tunneling.

So my questions are :

- is there a general support for IP tunneling in FreeBSD ? 
- How does it work exactly ? where can I find documentation ?

thank you for your help.
