GRE can fulfill the following several services:

1)Multi-protocol local network transmits via single-protocol backbone network.

Figure VPN-3-3Multi-protocol local network transmits via single-protocol backbone network

In the above figure, Group1 and Group2 are the local networks running Novell IPX protocol. Term1 and Term2 is the local network running IP protocol. The tunnel encapsulated with GRE protocol is adopted between Router A and Router B. Thus Group1and Group2 can communicate without affecting each other, so are Term1 and Term2.

2)Enlarge the operating range of the hop-limited network (e.g. IPX).
