Greetings,
IMHO, and in addition to what Rene Bartsch said, providing an encrypted
tunnel at layer 2 can be really useful when it comes to bandwidth and/or latency matters.
There is already a tool to do layer-2 bridging with encryption. Check out vtun:
http://vtun.sourceforge.net/
I use it a great deal to do layer-2 bridging. It works with the kernel tun/tap driver and works very well. It can use TCP or UDP as the transport, offers compression, etc. Key management is up to you, however.
Thanks, Josh
