Klas wanted to know whether TUN/TAP could work on Windows as well (apparently, it's important for SME Robotics that ThrottleNet has the potential to work on Windows).
After doing some quick research, it seems like it's possible. One has to download and install the OpenVPN TAP driver (packaged separately as tap-windows [here](http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html)). There's a simple tutorial [here](https://openwsn.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5373971) and some further links to example code in C# [here](http://www.varsanofiev.com/inside/using_tuntap_under_windows.htm).
In the `src/misc` folder of this project, there is a file called `tuntap-reader-writer-windows.py` which contains example code in Python of how to use a TUN/TAP device in Windows.
