Switch with 10 Gig and GRE support in hardware.

Sun Feb 20 06:05:43 UTC 2011

Potentially the Cisco 4900M.  I can't find specifically about the GRE
support however.  My google-fu just finds discussion about v4 to v6
tunnels in software.  The chassis has 8 built-in ports and two expansion
modules that can each do another 4 TenG ports in a not-oversubscribed
configuration.
