# Tunneling protocol | | In computer networks, a **Tunneling protocol** is a communication protocol which allows for the movement of data from one network to another. It can, for example, allow private network communications to be sent across a public network, or for one network protocol to be carried over an incompatible network, through a process called encapsulation. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Tunneling protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol) | Split Tunneling
