At one time I seriously considered doing an AXIP kernel driver based on the existing
IPIP system. I got as far as writing most of it, but lost it when I did a kernel upgrade.
This was all about two years ago.

I seem to remember one of the big differences of AXIP to IPIP is the need to have a look-
up table available to both the encapsulator and decapsulator, although for the life of me,
I can't remember why :-(

These days I don't have access to the right hardware (2 PC's) to test such a system which
means that writing a new version would be difficult.
