## GRETAP
GRETAP tunnels operate on layer 2 of the ISO/OSI model. To use a GRETAP tunnel, you only have to change the mode: For IPv4 `gretap` and for IPv6 `ip6gretap`.
## Simple Internet Transition (SIT)
SIT tunnels can be created in the same way as GRE tunnels. The difference is that you write `type sit` instead of `type gre`. SIT tunnels are designed to encapsulate IPv6 packets, so a SIT tunnel must be established over IPv4.
