Re: [squid-users] wccp and 2.4.18

You know what happens when you assume, right? ;-)

ip_gre has been in Linux for years, but it is not capable of accepting
WCCP gre packets and never has been, as the id is slightly different
from a normal gre packet (even though the structure is the same). It is
type id 0x887, as opposed to standard gre type 0x880, I think.

Anyway, you need a patch, one way (ip_wccp) or another (ip_gre). If
there isn't a recent ip_gre patch posted, I have one that I can post for
download (though its only a ~2 line change, and it should be obvious how
to change the official ip_gre). I only have an ip_gre patch, as I
believe Henrik has been maintaining the ip_wccp patch to some extent.
