/**
 * The IPIP module implements IP{v4,v6} over IP{v4,v6} tunnelling as
 * described in RFC2473 and to some extent the largely historical
 * RFC1853.  The module also supports an IPv4 over IPv6 automatic
 * tunnelling mechanism called 6RD (RFC5969).
 *
 * The IPIP API module supports a CRD model for adding, deleting and
 * listing tunnels. A tunnel is represented as an interface in
 * VPP. The "handle" representing a tunnel is the sw_if_index.  As any
 * interface, the user must configure an IPv4 and/or IPv6 address on
 * the interface. This is the inner or payload protocol.
 *
 * Tunnel MTU: The tunnel MTU (the payload MTU) is configurable per
 * protocol. If a tunnel MTU is larger than the path MTU, the outer
 * packet will be fragmented. Fragmentation support is configurable,
 * as it can have severe performance issues, and might be used as an
 * attack vector (the remote side must reassemble.)
 *
 * Traffic class / TOS field can either be configured to a fixed
 * value, or can be copied from the inner to the outer header.
 * (For now we have stolen ~0 to indicate copy).
 *
 * Note:
 *
 * - The Tunnel encapsulation limit described in RFC2473 is not
 *   implemented.
 *
 * - ICMP proxying, as in a tunnel head-end receiving ICMP erors on
 *   the outer packet is currently not relayed to the original source
 *   of the packet.
 *
 * - PMTUD / MTU probing and tunnel keepalives are not yet implemented.
