Addition of tap(4). NAME tap - virtual Ethernet device SYNOPSIS pseudo-device tap DESCRIPTION The tap driver allows the creation and use of virtual Ethernet devices. Those interfaces appear just as any real Ethernet NIC to the kernel, but can also be accessed by userland through a character device node in order to read frames being sent by the system or to inject frames. In that respect it is very similar to what tun(4) provides, but the added Ethernet layer allows easy integration with machine emulators or virtual Ethernet networks through the use of bridge(4) with tunneling. ``Qui tacet consentire videtur.''
