Can winpcap be used to create a virtual ethernet device, similar to the tun and tap devices that exist on linux and unix?
The idea of a tap device is that it looks like an ethernet NIC to the OS, but a user-mode program (such as a service or daemon) can open it, reading and writing raw ethernet frames from and to the device. I would like to port OpenVPN, a secure tunneling daemon, to windows, but I need a tap device driver. Any tips on where to look, or how winpcap might be used or modified for this purpose would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, James Yonan OpenVPN Developer http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/
