James:
Are you aware of a Windows tun project? While most windows users may
prefer tap, I am interested in the point-to-point nature of the tun
device. When setting up many routed connections, it seems that each TAP
connection will use 1 ip and waste 2 others. I can also live without
broadcast traffic and non-IP protocols.

_SNIP_

I think that Windows users are going to prefer a tap interface anyways,
because it carries the kind of traffic and protocols which Windows
applications generate, such as broadcast traffic and non-IP protocols.
