I'm a little confused here, as when cipe starts successfully on linux, 
routes are automatically added for the other end of the tunnel. In other 
words, starting cipcb0 (whose ip is 172.16.0.1 and peer is 172.16.0.2) 
should add at least the following to the route table:

172.16.0.2  *  255.255.255.255 U 0 0 0 cipcb0

If these are not appearing then something strange is going on - are you 
sure the tunnel is starting correctly??
