一 介绍
Linux中谈到tap，经常会和tun并列谈论。两者都是操作系统内核中的虚拟网络设备。tap位于二层，tun位于三层。需要说明的是，这里所说的设备是Linux的概念，并不是我们平时生活中所说的设备。比如，生活中，我们常常把一台物理路由器称为一台设备。
而Linux所说的设备，其背后指的是一个类似于数据结构、内核模块或设备驱动着样的含义。像tap/tun这样的设备，它的数据结构如下：
struct tun_struct {
char name[8]; //设备名
unsigned long flags; //区分tun和tap设备
struct fasync_struct *fasync; //文件异步通知结构
wait_queue_head_t read_wait; //等待队列
struct net_device dev; //linux 抽象网络设备结构
struct sk_buff_head txq; //网络缓冲区队列
struct net_device_stats stats; //网卡状态信息结构
};
我们看到，甚至连数据结构，tap和tun的定义都是一个，两者仅仅是通过一个Flag来区分。不过从背后所承载的功能而言，两者还是有比较大的区别：tap位于网络OSI模型的二层（数据链路层），tun位于网络的三层。
本篇只介绍tap。
tap从功能上讲，位于数据链路层，数据链路层的主要协议有：
1 点对点协议（Point-to-Point Protocol）
2 以太网（Ethernet）
3 高级数据链路协议（High-Level Data Link Protocol）
4 帧中继（Frame Relay）
5 异步传输模式（Asynchronous Transfer Mode）
但是tap只是与其中一种协议以太网（Ethernet）协议对应。所以，tap有时也称为“虚拟以太设备”。
二 实战
#要想使用Linux命令行操作一个tap，首先得有tun模块（Linux使用tun模块实现了tun/tap）,检查方法如下：
[root@centos ~]# modinfo tun
filename: /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/tun.ko
alias: devname:net/tun
alias: char-major-10-200

#当Linux版本具有tun模块时，还得看看其已经加载，检查方法如下：
[root@centos ~]# lsmod|grep tun
tun 27141 1
#如果已经加载，则会出现上述的“tun ***”那一行。如果没有加载，则使用如下命令进行加载：
[root@centos ~]# modprobe tun
#当我们确认Linux加载了tun模块以后，我们需要确认Linux是否有操作tun/tap的命令行工具tunctl。在Linux命令行中输入以下命令
[root@centos ~]# tunctl help
#输入这个命令后，如果Linux有输入，则说明OK，否则下面网站进行安装
#https://blog.csdn.net/lopng/article/details/72821438
#具备了tun和tunctl以后，我们就可以创建一个tap设备，命令行如下：
[root@centos yum.repos.d]# tunctl -t tap_test
Set 'tap_test' persistent and owned by uid 0
#我们通过如下命令查看刚刚创建的tep（tap_test）
[root@centos yum.repos.d]# ip link list
