TUN/TAP in Android

[stiff...@gmail.com]

I have an application that generates and receives packets and currently runs on Linux using a TUN/TAP interface. I create this interface on linux and then give the interface a name. I pass the interface name to my application which opens the interface and gets and sends packets. I am porting my application to Android. Does Android allow creation of TUN/TAP interfaces and also allow code to open the interfaces?

Thanks,
