Yes, that's the reasons. Also it makes it easier to run routing protocols
over a VPN link.

Quick question.
And I assume the reason you would want to use GRE over an ipsec tunnel is so
that you can support non-ip traffic?
Is this correct?
Thanks, Matt Morton

Olivier,
GRE is indeed an encapsulation protocol but it doesn't provide real
data-protection. I could be a VPN in some cases but I wouldn't use it over
the Internet. However, you could use it over an ipsec tunnel, in this way
you can build very nice VPN networks.

Hi,
What is GRE (Generic Routing Protocol ) ?
Is it a VPN protocol ?
Is it a encapsulation method ?
Thanks
