I don't believe you can bridge TUN devices at all, as a bridge is supposed to look at ethernet frames and not the protocols themselves. TUN is, as far as I understand, a TCP/IP only kind of thing. You don't run broadcasts or other protocols over it. TAP tunnels the ethernet frames themselves, so theoretically it is as powerful as if you had an ethernet card with a cable going to the other system... and you can do everything with it. My understanding is that since all we're really concerned with is IP type stuff, TUN is a bit faster and more consistent because that's all it deals with. TAP drivers, since they deal with so much more, are going to have a little bit more overhead in their connections and therefore run just a wee bit slower. As far as I'm concerned, TAP's ability to be added to a bridge makes it the best option for me. I'd much rather use TAP and bridge myself in than use the TUN driver and have to worry about odd routing tables and the like.
