!! Kernel Requirements
You need to have ip over ip routing support compiled in or compiled as a module
Networking Options -> IP Tunneling (CONFIG_NET_IPIP)
!! Userspace Requirements
-You will also need /sbin/ip (see iproute(8)). This usually comes in a package called iproute (eg Debian) or iproute2 depending on your distribution.

!! Example Network
There are two machines that we want to create a ip over ip link between for some reason. Lets call them Router A and Router B. These routers are both connected to the internet, you will also need a network to use on the tunnel. In the example below Router A and B have addreses in the same subnet, this is not a requirement, you can create a tunnel to a host on the other side of the internet if you want.
