From Experts-Exchange forum (who in turn are quoting info from Microsoft):
"Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter (comes with Microsoft Windows 2003 .Net
Server), a network driver that provides a tunnel with a File API interface,
through which a user-mode Windows application or service can interact with
the network stack as if the application were a network interface."

Not my area of expertise (networking) but in essence this is a "software
adapter," not physical hardware. I don't know how it gets installed but
since I don't see it on my system, would guess that it appears only if
there is other software installed that needs/uses the functionality it
offers.
