This came in from Scott the other day :-

IPv6IP you have a 40-byte IPv6 header + 20-byte IP header

GRE you have a 40-byte IPv6 header + 8 byte GRE header + 20 byte IP
header

Hi Group

Can someone summarize abt the overheads assosiated with IPV6 tunn types

I found the discussion some days back when GRE was compred with IPV6IP

As of what I know ; GRE adds 8 byte more (adds its own header) ..

This I am asking to tackle question that say ; use type which has least

overhead etc etc
