Re: [squid-users] WCCP Module for WCCP Version 2

Hi,

this is interesting now.

the kernel is configured to compile IPGRE right into the kernel. Not as a
module.
I do the following steps:

modprobe ip_wccp
iptunnel add gre1 remote 192.168.3.21 local 192.168.3.20 dev eth0
ifconfig gre1 127.0.0.2 up

Everything works fine with this setup.
Even if I do ifconfig gre1 down
it still works.

So ip_wccp does not need the GRE tunnel, which is what Henrik said long time
ago ;)

But removing ip_wccp and having the GRE tunnel does not work for me.

So for me, using ip_wccp just by itself works fine. Cool.

What protocol does ip_wccp use?
Does it setup it's own GRE thing?

Thanks,
Martin
