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.
