A significant difference between the 2 is that GRE tunnel introduces a lot
of overhead because you are putting a GRE header around an IPV6 packet and
then wrapping an IPv4 header around that.

Compare this to the IPv6IP tunnel mode where you encapsulate IPv6 inside
IPv4 WITHOUT the the GRE overhead.
