Hi Paul,

Question 1
By physical addresses you mean the routable public IPs that form the tunnel
src and tunnel dst addresses?

In my use case there is a GRE traffic that is originating from 5G mobiles
and is received by the N3IWF (wifi gateway) as shown in the below topo. The
GRE traffic generated by UE is over IPSEC (the GRE pkts have ESP encap). In
the production, there can be several thousands of 5G UEs that generate
gre-over-ipsec traffic that will terminate on a single p2mp (multipoint)
GRE interface on the N3IWF gateway as shown below.

Question 2
Since GRE is always encapsulated in IPSEC tunnel, do we still need to need
to map the GRE tunnel addresses to physical addresses. I thought we would
not be need GRE physical addresses in our use-case as there is the IPSEC
that is always outermost hdr and would be used for routing


Topo
================
UE ------(gre-over-ipsec traffic)----------N3IWF
