[edit] Weird sentence
I don't understand this sentence: the tunnel end-points do not monitor the state or availability of other tunnel end-points. What are the other end-points? I guess it only makes sense to have two end-points, not more. --Abdull 14:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I see what you mean. My ~guess~ is that it means that each end point doesn't monitor the state or availability of the other, but that's only a guess. --DigitalSorceress 16:19, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
As much as I know GRE I'd say DigitalSorrceress is right. there are only *two* end-oints --84.60.62.150 19:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ASCII Art vs "real" borders
Might be my problem, but the bit boundaries don't show at the correct positions, neither do the horizontal bars end at the same position as the "content" lines. Can anyone confirm this behaviour, and if so, any objections against going back to the old ASCII layout? Sigkill 17:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Me too. I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 and Debian Sarge (Spanish). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.33.247.185 (talk) 08:58, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Not in line with latest protocol definition?
After a quick glance at the RFCs, the current protocol definition in this article appears to be in line with the old RFC 1701, but not with the newer RFC 2784. A few fields have been eliminated, specifically the optional "Routing" field. --Yaron 13:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stub or Class B?
I noticed that the article has a Class B rating listed in the discussion, but the article itself is tagged as a stub. According to the assessment standards, (WP:ASSESS) the two would seem to be mutually exclusive. Any thoughts? --DigitalSorceress 16:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A8, A10, PCF
This sentence: "A8/A10 interfaces use GRE protocol to encapsulate IP data to/from Packet Control Function (PCF)." could be made less cryptic. Perhaps by having a link explaining A8, A10, or PCF.
