Hi Richard,


Yeah, I have a quite clear vision about what to do. If I’m correct:

Tuntap support in macs is limited, they can only create transcient 
tun/tap interfaces through tuntaposx.
PCAP was used have macs able to attach to a tun/tap using a different 
library (PCAP). I don’t know exactly why PCAP was used for.
My idea is to use ocaml-tuntap in macosx and linux the same way, 
creating transcient interfaces and passing the fd over a unix domain 
socket. This would work in all cases.
Currently I’m blocked because obuild does not build ocaml-tuntap on macs 
(And since I don’t want to change build systems I’m currently trying to 
fix obuild).
That’s about it.

Cheers,

Vincent
