Most people prefer to have the TUN/TAP interface stay up even during short 
network outages, so that application-level TCP connections running over 
the tunnel are not dropped.  This is controlled by the "persist-tun" 
config file flag.  If you don't use this flag, then the interface will be 
brought down on network outages which are longer than the 
keepalive (or ping/ping-restart) interval.
