+          <dd>Ethernet tunneling over the UDP transport portion of CAPWAP
+             (RFC 5415).  This allows interoperability with certain switches
+             where GRE is not available.  Note that only the tunneling component
+             of the protocol is implemented.  Due to the non-standard use of
+             CAPWAP, UDP ports 58881 and 58882 are used as the source and
+             destinations ports respectivedly.  Each tunnel must be uniquely
+             identified by the combination of <code>remote_ip</code> and
+             <code>local_ip</code>.  If two ports are defined that are the same
+             except one includes <code>local_ip</code> and the other does not,
+             the more specific one is matched first.  CAPWAP support is not
+             available on all platforms.  Currently it is only supported in the
+             Linux kernel module with kernel versions >= 2.6.25.  The following

+                the inner packet if it is IPv4 or IPv6 (otherwise it will be
+                0).  Note that the ECN fields are always inherited.  Default is

+                (otherwise it will be the system default, typically 64).

+                ``ICMP destination unreachable - fragmentation'' needed
+                messages will be generated for IPv4 packets with the DF bit set
+                and IPv6 packets above the minimum MTU if the packet size
+                exceeds the path MTU minus the size of the tunnel headers.  It
+                also forces the encapsulating packet DF bit to be set (it is
+                always set if the inner packet implies path MTU discovery).
+                Note that this option causes behavior that is typically
+                reserved for routers and therefore is not entirely in
+                compliance with the IEEE 802.1D specification for bridges.
