Ip tunnel
 

Hi,

I want to know what is a GRE IP Tunnel? Why is it required or its importance ?

I am very new to Linux and would appreciate if explained in simpler terms.


Thanks

well gre has literally nothing to do with Linux specifically. just do some background reading in general - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic..._Encapsulation

Hi,

I would like to know how is the Ip tunnel useful? Still this question remains unanswered.

Thanks
