Briefly, gif(4) is an L3 tunnel interface which can transport
IP(v4/v6)/MPLS inside other IP packets. 

Alternatively there is gre(4) which is a different but similar protocol
(actually the docs in the gre manual are a bit more complete so that might
be an easier starting point - for this use you can ignore all the EGRE/NVGRE
bits - I generally use gif where possible as it has a little lower
per-packet overhead, config for gif is similar to gre).

These are general purpose tunnel protocols and can run either with or
without ipsec - in the case of ipsec you would setup ipsec in transport
mode just to protect communications between the addresses of the two
routers, and run the tunnel over that.

I suggest trying just setting up a simple tunnel without ipsec for
starters to get a feel for how it works, when you have it working then
look at adding ipsec.

(Beware old guides for gif+vether bridges - gif used to be a "dual
mode" layer 2 or layer 3 tunnel device - guides using gif+vether were
using the L2 mode which has since been moved to etherip - you could
also do what you're looking for that way, but it's higher overhead
again because you have ethernet *and* a second set of IP headers).
