.TH IPIP 1
.SH NAME
ipip \- an IP over IP encapsulation daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ipip
.SH 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/share/doc/ipip, and the example config files also in
that tree.
.SH 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.
