Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox networking protocol Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links or point-to-multipoint links over an Internet Protocol network.[1]

Example uses

  • In conjunction with PPTP to create VPNs.
  • In conjunction with IPsec VPNs to allow passing of routing information between connected networks.
  • In mobility management protocols.
  • In A8/A10 interfaces to encapsulate IP data to/from Packet Control Function (PCF).
  • Linux and BSD can establish ad-hoc IP over GRE tunnels which are interoperable with Cisco equipment.
  • Distributed denial of service (DDoS) protected appliance to an unprotected endpoint.

Example protocol stack

OSI model layer Protocol
6. Session X.225
5. Transport UDP
4. Network (GRE-encapsulated) IPv4
Encapsulation GRE
3. Network IPv6
2. Data link Ethernet
1. Physical Ethernet physical layer

Based on the principles of protocol layering in OSI, protocol encapsulation, not specifically GRE, breaks the layering order. It may be viewed as a separator between two different protocol stacks, one acting as a carrier for another.

Delivery protocols

GRE packets that are encapsulated within IP directly, use IP protocol type 47 in the IPv4 header's Protocol fieldШаблон:Ref RFC or the IPv6 header's Next Header field.Шаблон:Ref RFC

For performance reasons, GRE can also be encapsulated in UDP packets.Шаблон:Ref RFC Better throughput may be achieved by using Equal-cost multi-path routing.

Packet header

Extended GRE packet header (RFC 2890)

The extended version of the GRE packet headerШаблон:Ref RFC is represented below:

Checksum (16 bits)

Reserved 1 (16 bits)
Present if the C bit is set; is set to 0.
Key (32 bits)
Present if the K bit is set; contains an application-specific key value.
Sequence Number (32 bits)
Present if the S bit is set; contains a sequence number for the GRE packet.

Standard GRE packet header (RFC 2784)

A standard GRE packet header structureШаблон:Ref RFC is represented in the diagram below.

Standard GRE header format
Offsets Octet 0 1 2 3
Octet Bit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
0 0 C Reserved 0 Version Protocol Type
4 32 Checksum (optional) Reserved 1 (optional)
C (1 bit)
Checksum bit. Set to 1 if a checksum is present.
Reserved 0 (12 bits)
Reserved bits; set to 0.
Version (3 bits)
GRE Version number; set to 0.
Protocol Type (16 bits)
Indicates the ether protocol type of the encapsulated payload. (For IPv4, this would be hexadecimal 0x0800; for IPv6, it would be 0x86DD.Шаблон:Ref RFC)
Checksum (16 bits)
Present if the C bit is set; contains the checksum for the GRE header and payload.
Reserved 1 (16 bits)
Present if the C bit is set; its contents is set to 0.

Original GRE packet header (RFC 1701)

The newer structure superseded the original structure:Шаблон:Ref RFC

Original GRE header format
Offsets Octet 0 1 2 3
Octet Bit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
0 0 C R K S s Recur Flags Version Protocol Type
4 32 Checksum (optional) Offset (optional)
8 64 Key (optional)
12 96 Sequence Number (optional)
16 128 Routing (optional, variable length)

The original GRE RFC defined further fields in the packet header which became obsolete in the current standard:

C (1 bit)
Checksum bit. Set to 1 if a checksum is present.
R (1 bit)
Routing Bit. Set to 1 if Routing and Offset information are present.
K (1 bit)
Key bit. Set to 1 if a key is present.
S (1 bit)
Sequence number bit. Set to 1 if a sequence number is present.
s (1 bit)
Strict source route bit.
Recur (3 bits)
Recursion control bits.
Flags (5 bits)
Reserved for future use, set to 0.
Version (3 bits)
Set to 0.
Protocol Type (16 bits)
Indicates the ether protocol type of the encapsulated payload.
Checksum (16 bits)
Present if the C bit is set; contains the checksum for the GRE header and payload.
Offset (16 bits)
Present if R bit or C bit is set; contains valid information, only if R bit is set. An offset field indicating the offset within the Routing field to the active source route entry.
Key (32 bits)
Present if the K bit is set; contains an application-specific key value.
Sequence Number (32 bits)
Present if the S bit is set; contains a sequence number for the GRE packet.
Routing (variable)
Present if R bit is set; contains a list of source route entries, therefore is of variable length.

PPTP GRE packet header

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Шаблон:Ref RFC uses a variant GRE packet header structure, represented below. PPTP creates a GRE tunnel through which the PPTP GRE packets are sent.
