Released:
Linux/Windows TUN/TAP wrapper for Python
Project description
TUN/TAP package for Linux and Windows
``pytuntap`` is a Python module for you create TUN/TAP device very easily.
It canbe work both on Linux and Windows
License: MIT (see LICENSE)
Installation and Dependencies
-----------------------------
Install ``pytuntap`` with ``pip install python-pytuntap``
As ``pytuntap`` is python wrapper for tuntap driver on Linux , and openvpn driver on
Windows. If you use it on windows, you should install openvpn's tap driver first.
please refer to openvpn ,how to install it .
Documentation
-------------
NOTE: On most distributions you will need to be root to create TUN/TAP devices.
To create a TUN device::
from tuntap import TunTap
tun = TunTap(nic_type='Tun',nic_name='tun0')
To create a TAP device::
聽 from tuntap import TunTap
tap = TunTap(nic_type='Tap',nic_name='tap0')
To config device:
tap.config(ip='192.168.1.10',mask='255.255.255.0',gateway='192.168.1.254')
You can get some parameters of the device directly::
print(tun.name,tun.ip,tun.mask)
If the device is a TAP you can also get/set its MAC address::
print(tap.mac)
To read/write to the device, use the methods ``read(size)`` and
``write(buf)``::
buf = tun.read(size)
tun.write(buf)
To close the device::
tun.close()
you can also use ``TunTapDevice`` objects with all functions that expect a
``tun.handle`` method (e.g ``select()``)

- Tun Tap Poll Mode Driver. The rteethtap.c PMD creates a device using TAP interfaces on the local host. The PMD allows for DPDK and the host to communicate using a raw device interface on the host and in the DPDK application. The device created is a TAP device, which sends/receives packet in a raw format with a L2 header.
- Universal TUN/TAP driver 1.1 released Universal TUN/TAP driver 1.0 released Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD drivers merged.
- A macvtap endpoint is a character device that largely follows the tun/tap ioctl interface and can be used directly by kvm/qemu and other hypervisors that support the tun/tap interface. The endpoint extends an existing network interface, the lower device, and has its own mac address on the same ethernet segment.

In computer networking, TUN and TAP are kernel virtual network devices. Being network devices supported entirely in software, they differ from ordinary network devices which are backed by physical network adapters. The Universal TUN/TAP Driver originated in 2000 as a merger of the corresponding drivers in Solaris, Linux and BSD.
