[AusNOG] GRE BGP Peering

[Daniel Watson]

Hi prk,

In my opinion, It is handy if the 2 party's were exchanging ALOT of data
back and forth and can be considered a private network between the two

Also possible to exchange IP's from both networks ect

There are alot of useful things you can do on GRE, But I am more looking
into this to expand my horizons with BGP :D

Daniel
