I apologize in advance if this subject has been addressed but I was unable
to turn up anything from a Google search and the manual pages did not quite
yield enough information.  IPv6 needs aside, what is the primary difference
between tun(4) and gif(4)?  When is it preferrable to use gif(4) over
tun(4)?  Is there any reason why I could not, say, perform IPSEC encryption
over a tun(4) tunnel?

Thank you in advance,
Matt
