Consegui configurar um túnel FOU entre duas máquinas virtuais na mesma LAN executando o ubuntu 16.04.01 não modificado. Eles começaram com a seguinte configuração de rede:
jeff@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~$ ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:00:27:97:1d:bb brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.137/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic enp0s3
valid_lft 86358sec preferred_lft 86358sec
inet6 fe80::3675:b335:4de3:9d6c/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
jeff@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~$
jeff@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~$ ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether 08:00:27:40:13:85 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.135/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic enp0s3

inet6 fe80::7086:fe13:ab8:b44f/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Em seguida, executei o seguinte para configurar as duas VMs em uma rede 10 usando um túnel FOU:
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# modprobe fou
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# ip fou add port 55137 ipproto 4
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# ip link add name fou0 type ipip remote 192.168.1.135 local 192.168.1.137 encap fou encap-sport 55137 encap-dport 55135 dev enp0s3
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# ip link set up dev tunl0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# ip link set up dev fou0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~# ip addr add 10.0.0.137/24 dev fou0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16:~#
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# modprobe fou
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# ip fou add port 55135 ipproto 4
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# ip link add name fou0 type ipip remote 192.168.1.137 local 192.168.1.135 encap fou encap-sport 55135 encap-dport 55137 dev enp0s3
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# ip link set up dev tunl0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# ip link set up dev fou0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~# ip addr add 10.0.0.135/24 dev fou0
root@jeff-VirtualBox-ubuntu-16-2:~#
Funcionou bem para mim. Sua milhagem pode variar. 8 ^)
