Marc A. Lehmann <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Virtual Private Ethernet
System name: vpe
Type: GNU

Description:
I was requested to add copyright and copying permission notices to the top of 
the source files, which I did. This is teh re-registration
of my project.

vpe stands for virtual private ethernet, and is \"yet another tunnel solution 
\"featuring encapsulation, compression and encryption
of ethernet packets.

The differences between vpe and most other \"vpn\"\'s is that this
implements a real network, that is, multiple hosts connected
with a virtual ethernet.

The goals of this project are to provide a very basic, featureless
but robust, small (in memory) and fast solution that is relatively easy to 
setup (only one shared config file + autogenerated rsa keys)
and uses a single UDP port only.

The reason I wrote (or started to write) it is that I didn\'t find another 
solution that runs stable and conencts multiple hosts.

I used tincd (GPL) as a base, threw away all the tincd code exceot the 
configure, Makefiles, m4 macros and rpelacement functions that were
mostly taken from other free projects.

A preliminary (it\'s work in progress and not yet finished) version can be 
found at

Other Software Required:
openssl

Other Comments:
The re-registraton url one gets from address@hidden is utterly broken. I think 
savannah should be a good example of following standards, so this should really 
be fixed ;)
