[PATCH 01/37] docs: networking: convert tuntap.txt to ReST

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

- add SPDX header;
- use copyright symbol;
- adjust titles and chapters, adding proper markups;
- mark code blocks and literals as such;
- adjust identation, whitespaces and blank lines where needed;
- add to networking/index.rst.

   Driver module autoloading
 
      Make sure that "Kernel module loader" - module auto-loading
      support is enabled in your kernel.  The kernel should load it on
      first access.
-  
-  Manual loading 
-     insert the module by hand:
-        modprobe tun
+
+  Manual loading
+
+     insert the module by hand::

   If you do it the latter way, you have to load the module every time you
   need it, if you do it the other way it will be automatically loaded when
   /dev/net/tun is being opened.

+Universal TUN/TAP device driver Frequently Asked Question
+=========================================================
+
 1. What platforms are supported by TUN/TAP driver ?
+
 Currently driver has been written for 3 Unices:
-   Linux kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x 
-   FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
-   Solaris 2.6, 7.0, 8.0
+
+  - Linux kernels 2.2.x, 2.4.x
+  - FreeBSD 3.x, 4.x, 5.x
+  - Solaris 2.6, 7.0, 8.0
 
 2. What is TUN/TAP driver used for?
-As mentioned above, main purpose of TUN/TAP driver is tunneling. 
+
+As mentioned above, main purpose of TUN/TAP driver is tunneling.
 It is used by VTun (http://vtun.sourceforge.net).
 
 Another interesting application using TUN/TAP is pipsecd
 (http://perso.enst.fr/~beyssac/pipsec/), a userspace IPSec
 implementation that can use complete kernel routing (unlike FreeS/WAN).
 
-3. How does Virtual network device actually work ?

+

-Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical 
-media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending

+Ethernet device, which instead of receiving packets from a physical
+media, receives them from user space program and instead of sending
+packets via physical media sends them to the user space program.
 
 Let's say that you configured IPv6 on the tap0, then whenever
 the kernel sends an IPv6 packet to tap0, it is passed to the application
-(VTun for example). The application encrypts, compresses and sends it to 
+(VTun for example). The application encrypts, compresses and sends it to
 the other side over TCP or UDP. The application on the other side decompresses
-and decrypts the data received and writes the packet to the TAP device, 
+and decrypts the data received and writes the packet to the TAP device,
 the kernel handles the packet like it came from real physical device.
 
 4. What is the difference between TUN driver and TAP driver?
+
 TUN works with IP frames. TAP works with Ethernet frames.
 
 This means that you have to read/write IP packets when you are using tun and
 ethernet frames when using tap.
 
 5. What is the difference between BPF and TUN/TAP driver?
+
 BPF is an advanced packet filter. It can be attached to existing
 network interface. It does not provide a virtual network interface.
 A TUN/TAP driver does provide a virtual network interface and it is possible
 to attach BPF to this interface.
 
 6. Does TAP driver support kernel Ethernet bridging?
-Yes. Linux and FreeBSD drivers support Ethernet bridging.

+Yes. Linux and FreeBSD drivers support Ethernet bridging.
