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.
