SYNOPSIS         top

       ip [ OPTIONS ] fou  { COMMAND | help }

       ip fou add port PORT { gue | ipproto PROTO  } [ local IFADDR  ] [
               peer IFADDR  ] [ peer_port PORT  ] [ dev IFNAME  ]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The ip fou commands are used to create and delete receive ports
       for Foo-over-UDP (FOU) as well as Generic UDP Encapsulation
       (GUE).

       Foo-over-UDP allows encapsulating packets of an IP protocol
       directly over UDP. The receiver infers the protocol of a packet
       received on a FOU UDP port to be the protocol configured for the
       port.

       Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) encapsulates packets of an IP
       protocol within UDP and an encapsulation header. The
       encapsulation header contains the IP protocol number for the
       encapsulated packet.

       When creating a FOU or GUE receive port, the port number is
       specified in PORT argument. If FOU is used, the IP protocol
       number associated with the port is specified in PROTO argument.
       You can bind a port to a local address/interface, by specifying
       the address in the local IFADDR argument or the device in the
       IFNAME argument. If you would like to connect the port, you can
       specify the peer address in the peer IFADDR argument and peer
       port in the peer_port PORT argument.

       A FOU or GUE receive port is deleted by specifying PORT in the
       delete command, as well as local address/interface or peer
       address/port (if set).

EXAMPLES         top

   Configure a FOU receive port for GRE bound to 7777
       # ip fou add port 7777 ipproto 47

   Configure a FOU receive port for IPIP bound to 8888
       # ip fou add port 8888 ipproto 4

   Configure a GUE receive port bound to 9999
       # ip fou add port 9999 gue

   Delete the GUE receive port bound to 9999
       # ip fou del port 9999

   Configure a FOU receive port for GRE bound to 1.2.3.4:7777
       # ip fou add port 7777 ipproto 47 local 1.2.3.4
