burritun

Wrap a tun interface in a tap interface. This is useful if you need to run a tool on a tun device that depends on a layer 2 raw socket, but doesn't actually need layer 2 access. The ethernet header is transparently stripped for egress and added for ingress. It also emulates arp to ensure the kernel can use the interface correctly.
