IPv6 Support for Generic Routing Encapsulation
RFC 7676, “IPv6 Support for Generic Routing Encapsulation”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2015 by C. Pignataro, R. Bonica, S. Krishnan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) can be used to carry any network- layer payload protocol over any network-layer delivery protocol. Currently, GRE procedures are specified for IPv4, used as either the payload or delivery protocol. However, GRE procedures are not specified for IPv6.
This document specifies GRE procedures for IPv6, used as either the payload or delivery protocol.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
