The EMG6765-Q10A uses tunnel interfaces in Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), IPv6 in IPv4, and 6to4
tunnels. GRE tunnels encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocol packet types inside IP tunnels. A GRE
tunnel serves as a virtual point-to-point link between the EMG6765-Q10A and another router over an IPv4
network.
