So are networks, oddly enough.

There are many many ways you can set up a tunnel between two networked hosts. The MetaNet is one such example of a tunnel - it is a multi-point tunnel.

Most tunnels are point-to-point. Some examples are:

* [SSH] Tunnels. Very easy to set up in user space. See [SSHNotes] for information.
* [IPSec]  - The 'secure' way to set up tunnels. Kinda broken under [Linux] atm.
* [L2TP] - Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol
* [GRE] - Generic Routing Encapsulation. See [GRETunnel] for information
* [PPTP] - Point To Point Tunnel Protocol
* [IPIP] - IP over [IP] Tunnel

You may want to authenticate your users against another machine; look at [RADIUS] and [TACACS].
