// Implements a TUN (network tunnel) interface that provides a virtual network
// interface for applications. This is the main component of ~TunInterface.
// Allows applications to send and receive packets
// directly to/from the network layer using a socket-like API. Maintains a list
// of registered sockets and handles commands for opening, closing, and using
// the TUN interface. Processes packets between upper layers and the network
// layer, adding appropriate tags for routing.
