Ethernet tunneling over TCP seems reasonable enough, even though the TCP connection/ack machinery is pure overhead for this application.   SSL could be used if security is needed -- is that important?

For people who have port number limitations (censoring ISPs) I wonder if tunneling over HTTP should be defined.   :-), sort of.

You can also use a pair of VDE plugs tunneled over SSH. That's what I use to hook simulators running in my laptop over an iPhohe tethered connection. It's a little bit convoluted to set up, but it works wonderfully.
