Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a protocol that allows transport of
non-IP traffic through IP-based systems. GRE, which is defined in RFCs 1701 and
1702, encapsulates Internet Protocol (IP) and other layer 3 protocols to enable
data transmission through an IP tunnel. This tunneling mechanism allows:
• Transport of non-IP traffic through intermediate systems that support only IP
• Creation of a virtual private network (VPN) that uses the Internet as a section
of your own private network
• Communication between subnetworks with unregistered or discontiguous
network addresses
