tcpdump is aware of everything from layer 2 packets on up, so yes, it can
see GRE. It can dump raw ethernet, too.

Is this means that tcpdump() is not really aware of the presence of GRE,
which
makes me does n't get meaningful info when the packets is encountered?
This is the output of my /var/log/pptpd.log which occured at the same time
with my tcpdump output form my GRE
/var/log/pptpd.log
May 22 16:47:29 kgsnt3 pppd[601]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0>
<auth chap 81> <magic 0xdbf1f32e> <pcomp> <accomp>]
May 22 16:47:29 kgsnt3 pppd[601]: Timeout 0x80503d4:0x80784c0 in 3 seconds.
with tcpdump -i eth0 -n proto 47 or port 1723
16:47:29.904470 > gre-proto-0x880B (gre encap) - this once occured 9 times
Can I see other people's tcpdump output of a working pptpd server?
