Imagine a network crossing a router that doesn't do Appletalk, yet you need
Appletalk to work end-to-end. You would configure a tunnel to do that.
Either an AURP or a GRE tunnel will work, but they are configured differently.
The lab scenario above doesn't make sense in sequence because you generally
wouldn't need the tunnel if you already had Appletalk EIGRP everywhere. The
more likely situation is two endpoint networks needing Appletalk
connectivity over an IP only WAN.
...But who said lab scenarios had to make sense. They just have to work.
