NAME

       ipip - an IP over IP encapsulation daemon

SYNOPSIS

       ipip

DESCRIPTION

       This is a user-space daemon that supports encapsulation of IP over IP.  Modern Linux kernels provide this
       ability in the kernel, but consume an interface per encapsulated  link.   This  can  be  impractical  for
       virtual  networks  built up of a large number of encapsulated links, such as is the case with the amateur
       radio net-44 network.  The ipip daemon is often a better solution for these environments.

       There is very  little  documentation  on  the  daemon  at  this  time.   Look  for  the  README  file  in
       /usr/doc/ipip, and the example config files also in that tree.

AUTHOR

       This  package  was  originally  written by Mike Westerhof for SunOS.  Bdale Garbee ported it to HP-UX and
       BSD/OS.  Ron Atkinson and John Paul Morrison then provided the tweaks for Linux.

       The package is currently once again being maintained by Bdale Garbee, both as "upstream  maintainer"  and
       as maintainer of the Debian GNU/Linux ipip package.
