Just checking to see that I've got this straight in my head.

When a question has wording along the lines of:

Configure IPv6 tunnel over IPv4 network

We should use tunnel mode gre ?

From the follwoing debugs with tunnel mode ipv6ip I get the following:
l13: IPv6/IP encapsulated 150.1.3.3->150.1.1.1 (linktype=79, len=92)
*May 31 12:55:37.277: Tunnel13: IPv6/IP to classify
150.1.1.1->150.1.3.3(len=92 ttl=253 tos=0xE0)
*May 31 12:55:37.277: Tunnel13: to decaps IPv6/IP packet 150.1.1.1->
150.1.3.3 (len=92, ttl=253)
*May 31 12:55:37.277: Tunnel13: decapsulated IPv6/IP packet

With tunnel mode gre I get the following:
*May 31 12:58:11.573: Tunnel13: GRE/IP encapsulated
150.1.3.3->150.1.1.1(linktype=79, len=124)
*May 31 12:58:11.609: Tunnel13: GRE/IP to classify
150.1.1.1->150.1.3.3(len=124 type=0x86DD ttl=253 tos=0x0)

Also using debug ip packet detail I'm seeing protocol 47 with GRE and
protocol 41 when ipv6ip.

Firstly, am I correct to use mode gre and secondly any tips on what to look
for in a question to decide the tunnel mode if it's not stated?
Thanks,
