I suppose if you had a large amount of IPX traffic that didn't need to be
encrypted but did need to be tunneled over the IP networks, then IPSec over
GRE might make sense. No sense wasting router CPU if you don't need to
encrypt something.

IPSec over GRE -vs- GRE over IPSec.

Alright is this just a play on words or what? GRE over IPSec makes sense,
it's used to transport non unicast traffic.

But why would you want to do IPSec over GRE. Does anyone have a link to a
config example? ... if it's something?

Thanks,

Joe
