http://searchenterprisewan.techtarget.com/tip/GRE-tunnel-vs-IPsec-tunnel-What-is-the-difference
Encapsulating a packet for secure transportation on the network can be done using either GRE or IPsec protocols. This tip explains under what circumstances each protocol works best.
![Safe Harbor](http://cdn.ttgtmedia.com/rms/onlineImages/inlineReg_Test4_safeHarborLogo.png)
used when IP packets need to be sent from one network to another, without being parsed or treated like IP packets by any intervening routers.
For example, in Mobile IP, a mobile node registers with a Home Agent. When the mobile node roams to a new network, it registers with a Foreign Agent there. Whenever IP packets addressed to the mobile node are received by the Home Agent, they can be relayed over a GRE tunnel to the Foreign Agent for delivery. It does not matter how the Home Agent and Foreign Agent communicate with each other -- hops in between just pass along the GRE packet. Only the GRE tunnel endpoints -- the two Agents -- actually route the encapsulated IP packet.
The IP Security (IPsec) Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), defined by RFC 2406, also encapsulates IP packets. However, it does so for a different reason: To secure the encapsulated payload using encryption. IPsec ESP is used when IP packets need to be exchanged between two systems while being protected against eavesdropping or modification along the way.
For example, in a site-to-site VPN, a source host in network "A" transmits an IP packet. When that packet reaches the edge of network "A" it hits a VPN gateway. VPN gateway "A" encrypts the private IP packet and relays it over an ESP tunnel to a peer VPN gateway at the edge of network "B." VPN gateway "B" then decrypts the packet and delivers it to the destination host. Like GRE, it doesn't really matter how the two VPN gateways communicate with each other -- hops in between just pass along the ESP packet. But unlike GRE, someone at those hops could not possibly look at or change the encapsulated IP packet, even if they wanted to. That's because cryptographic algorithms have been applied to scramble the IP packet and detect any modification or replay.
In summary, use GRE where IP tunneling without privacy is required -- it's simpler and thus faster. But, use IPsec ESP where IP tunneling and data privacy are required -- it provides security features that are not even attempted by GRE.

Linux Ip/gre tunnel互通隧道配置
3小时前
说明:通过ip/gre tunnel能够通过多个tunnel网关将公司内网和机房互通
例如:
一、公司:
UPIP:221.224.0.1
网关:192.168.1.1/24
network 公司
二、机房A:
UPIP:221.224.1.1
network 机房A
网关:10.30.1.1/24
三、机房B:
UPIP:221.224.2.1
网关:172.16.1.1/24
1、公司网关配置:
modprobe ipip
modprobe ip_gre
#tunnel for 机房A
ip tunnel add 机房A mode gre remote 221.224.1.1 local 221.224.0.1 ttl 255
ip link set 机房A up
ip addr add 192.168.1.1 dev 机房A
ip route add 10.30.1.0/24 dev 机房A
#tunnel for 机房B
ip tunnel add 机房B mode gre remote 221.224.2.1 local 221.224.0.1 ttl 255
ip link set 机房B up
ip addr add 192.168.1.1 dev 机房B
ip route add 172.16.1.0/24 dev 机房B
2、机房A网关配置:
ip tunnel add 机房A mode gre remote 221.224.0.1 local 221.224.1.1 ttl 255
ip link set 机房A up
ip addr add 10.30.1.1 dev 机房A
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev 机房A
3、机房B网关配置:
ip tunnel add 机房B mode gre remote 221.224.0.1 local 221.224.2.1 ttl 255
ip link set 机房B up
ip addr add 172.16.1.1 dev 机房B
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev 机房B

Cisco router 和 Linux GRE连接
本文说明cisco router和Linux 系统做GRE连接。Cisco 为1721。Linux为Centos.
拓扑如下:

Liunx 系统
1、检查是否加载ip_gre模块
lsmod|grep ip_gre
如没有,请加载ip_gre
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/kernel/net/ipv4/ip_gre.ko
2.新增tunnel, 命名为tunnel0
[root@localhost ~]# ip tunnel add tunnel0 mode gre remote 192.168.1.1 local 172.16.1.254 ttl 255
3.激活新增tunnel0,
[root@localhost ~]# ip link set tunnel0 up mtu 1500
4.添加tunnel0 IP.
[root@localhost ~]# ip addr add 10.100.2.2/30 peer 10.100.2.1/30 dev tunnel0
5.添加从tunnel0 走的路由
[root@localhost ~]# ip route add 10.10.34.0/24 dev tunnel0
6.验证
[root@localhost ~]# ip addr show
