Re: What can VxLAN and EoIP can do that IPIP tunnel can not do?

GRE is point-to-point [2] and can emulate an Ethernet segment, but really only one link. By one link you mean GRE can be one tunnel? (maybe link is the right term). I think you mean I can't have multiple GRE connections running at the same time. If so that will be limiting to me because I want to m...

What can VxLAN and EoIP can do that IPIP tunnel can not do?

Hi, I want to setup layer2 spanning over layer3. I see that IPIP has the lowest overhead of any protocol available out there including those of VPNs and ones like VxLAN and EoIP. What can VxLAN and EoIP can do that IPIP tunnel can not do? If none then why people want to use VxLAN or EoIP while IPIP ...
