I would explain u what I am doing. I have a gateway. The gateway has say 3 interfaces. One internal and 2 external. the gateway forms 2 tunnels to 2 other computer on the internet. it collects packets from internal interface and delivers it to the tunnel. the packets from internal interface are received into a queue because the number of packets generated in the internal lan may be quiet high. the tunnel process picks packet from this queue and delivers to the other end of the tunnel one by one.
May be u have something to suggest.
