The device that system can identify will have a device file in /dev directory. System talks to these devices through device files. If you do ioscan -fn it will give the devices and associated device files used in addition to the other details.

When system boots, a insf and ioscan is run to rebuild the /dev entries.

Hi,

These are IP tunnel device files.
See the following tun(4) man page:
