Hi,

 wccp v 2.01 forward gre packet with protocol type WCCP (0x883e) in gre header,
that replaced with ETH_P_IP, while encapsulated ipv6 packet (ETH_P_IPV6).

 Tested on 3.14.23, the same code is in 3.17.2

 One more issue noted in ip6_gre.
ipv4 gre interface configured to local any remote any
receive(accept) all gre traffic.
ipv6 gre interface should be configured explicit to exact remote and
local addresses
to receive traffic in gre interface, that a bit problematic due to
multiply addresses
assigned to interface. I will try to understand this issue, but possible someone
have some ideas

Thanks.
Yuri.
