It's a long list in section titled:
"Internet-standard MIB - mib-2.interface.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.tunnelType"

I think it binds the concept of a 'tunnel' to that of an 'interface'.

They are distinct.  Not only there are interfaces that are not tunnels 
but there are tunnels that have no interfaces either.  (i.e. tunnels 
that are not visible in the full list of interfaces of a computer).

This boils down to the YANG model to _not_ see these tunnels either.
