   GRE uses an ETHER Type for the Protocol Type. New ETHER TYPES are
   assigned by Xerox Systems Institute [RFC1700].

9. Appendix -- Known Issues

   This document specifies the behavior of currently deployed GRE
   implementations. As such, it does not attempt to address the
   following known issues:

   o Interaction Path MTU Discovery (PMTU) [RFC1191]

     Existing implementations of GRE, when using IPv4 as the Delivery
     Header, do not implement Path MTU discovery and do not set the
     Don't Fragment bit in the Delivery Header.  This can cause large
     packets to become fragmented within the tunnel and reassembled at
     the tunnel exit (independent of whether the payload packet is using
     PMTU).  If a tunnel entry point were to use Path MTU discovery,
     however, that tunnel entry point would also need to relay ICMP
     unreachable error messages (in particular the "fragmentation needed
     and DF set" code) back to the originator of the packet, which is
     not a requirement in this specification. Failure to properly relay
     Path MTU information to an originator can result in the following
     behavior: the originator sets the don't fragment bit, the packet
     gets dropped within the tunnel, but since the originator doesn't
     receive proper feedback, it retransmits with the same PMTU, causing
     subsequently transmitted packets to be dropped.

   o IPv6 as Delivery and/or Payload Protocol

     This specification describes the intersection of GRE currently
     deployed by multiple vendors. IPv6 as delivery and/or payload
     protocol is not included in the currently deployed versions of GRE.

   o Interaction with ICMP

   o Interaction with the Differentiated Services Architecture

   o Multiple and Looping Encapsulations
