Overview of SoftGRE Support

There are numerous equipment vendors serving the service provider market today. Among these vendors, the more prominent ones include Alcatel-Lucent (ALU), Ericsson, NSN, Huawei and Cisco. Most of these vendors support different tunneling and mobility management protocols at their packet gateways.

Since most (if not all) of these equipment vendors do not develop access points themselves, they are publishing SoftGRE specifications to enable access point vendors (such as Ruckus) to support SoftGRE on their devices.
