Unknown adapters showing in Hyper-V host

Hi,

I have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise host with Hyper-V (gen2) running a Server 2012 R2 guest. I have noticed that Hyper-V creates many different network adapters on the host and I'd like to know what is the purpose of these adapters, and if they can be safely deleted.

"TAP-Windows Adapter V9"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS"
"TAP-Windows Adapter V9 #2"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS #2"
"TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS #3"

When I dsiable them, they keep reenabling themselves. Searched the Internet and only thing I found is about OpenVPN, which I do not use. So what are they used for, really?

Not that it causes some problems, but I like to keep my things clean and keep control of what is going on...

Thanks in advance
