 to address the interface using an IP address assigned to the internal

+The TUN PMD allows user to create a TUN device on host. The PMD allows user
+to transmit and receive packets via DPDK API calls with L3 header and payload.
+The devices in host can be accessed via ``ifconfig`` or ``ip`` command. TUN
+interfaces are passed to DPDK ``rte_eal_init`` arguments as ``--vdev=net_tunX``,
+where X stands for unique id, example::
+
+   --vdev=net_tun0 --vdev=net_tun1,iface=foo1, ...
+
+Unlike TAP PMD, TUN PMD does not support user arguments as ``MAC`` or ``remote`` user
+options. Default interface name is ``dtunX``, where X stands for unique id.
