I second that. I earned several grey hairs working out how to keep a
certain unamed online service providers ppp-like tunnels both up and
useful over a big MPLS backbone. The results of such tunneling is
*very* sensitive to *common* (and otherwise harmless) network issues.

Traffic management and filtering capabilities, primarily. The z/VM stack is
faster, but the Linux stack is much more flexible in terms of being able to
handle packet filters, routing,

Possibly a little less raw speed (haven't seen a thorough analysis yet);
however you gain easy access to the network filtering
