This is something that encapsulates IP (v4 right?) in something else.
Would belong into

	linux/net/ipv4

You already have similar implementations there

See f.e. ipip.c, ip_tunnel.c and lots more (try
	ls linux/net/ipv4/*tunnel*

)

If this is more like a device then it would belong into

linux/drivers/net/hfi or so (see also linux/drivers/net/ppp, plip,
loopback, etc etc)
