Hi,

Why each end point takes two IP addresses? For example, on the server,
it allocates two IPs 10.8.0.1 and 10.8.0.2 for its own use, as in
tun0 which is a ppp interface with 10.8.0.1 as its own IP and with 
10.8.0.2 as the other side of the PPP connection. When a client connets,
it will get say 10.8.0.5 and 10.8.0.6 for its tun0. Why?
