An example of anytun used in tunnel mode
+
Figure 1
In tunneling mode the payload of the anytun packet is transmitted
from one unicast host to the anycast server. This server makes a
routing descision based on the underlying protocol and transmits a
new anytun package to one or more clients depending on the routing
- descition.

+ descition. The server MAY also route the packet to a directly
+ connected network or a service running on the server, but please
+ note, that this is only usefull for anycast host services like DNS
+ and that the services HAVE TO be running on all servers in order to
+ work.
+1.1.1.2. Open tunnel mode
+ In open tunnel mode only one of two clients talking to each other
+ over the servers MUST use the anytun protocol. When a client using
+ the anytun protocol wants to tunnel data, it is building a connection
+ to the anycast servers using the anytun protocol. The anycast
+ servers relay the encapsulated packages directly to the destination
+ without using the anytun protocol. The source address of the
+ datagramm HAS TO be changed to the anycast address of the server.
+ The anytun servers act like a source NAT router, therefor for the
+ destination it saems that it is talking to the client directly.
