Encapsulating protocols for tunneling across diverse networks is the primary application of GRE, making it useful for creating virtual point-to-point links over an IP internetwork. It enables the encapsulation of packets from one protocol suite within the datagram encapsulations of another protocol suite, facilitating connectivity across heterogeneous networks.
