A GRE tunnel operates at layer 3 of the OSI model and is repsented by IP
protocol 47.The main benefit of a GRE tunnel is that you are able to carry
multiple protocols inside the same tunnel. GRE also supports multicast traffic and
supports routing protocols that leverage multicast to form neighbor adjacencies.

and supports routing protocols that leverage multicast to form neighbor
adjacencies.
A VyOS GRE tunnel can carry both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and can also be created
over either IPv4 (gre) or IPv6 (ip6gre).

A basic configuration requires a tunnel source (local-ip), a tunnel destination
(remote-ip), an encapsulation type (gre), and an address (ipv4/ipv6).Below is a
basic IPv4 only configuration example taken from a VyOS router and a Cisco IOS router.
The main difference between these two configurations is that VyOS requires you
explicitly configure the encapsulation type. The Cisco router defaults to gre
ip otherwise it would have to be configured as well.
