I think that easiest way could be to have own mech_driver (AFAIK such<br>
drivers are for such usage) to talk with external devices to "tell" them<br>
what tunnels should it establish.<br>
With change to tun_ip Henry propese l2_pop agent will be able to<br>
establish tunnel with external device.<br>
