I have a dual 3GHz Xeon machine with a 2.4.21 kernel and thousands (15k+) of...
ipip tunnel interfaces. These are being used to tunnel traffic from remote
routers, over a private network, and handed off to a third party.
Is it possible to speed up creation of the interfaces? Currently it takes
around 24 hours. Is there are more efficient way to handle a very large
number of IP-IP tunnels? Would upgrading to a 2.6 kernel be of use?
