| The GRE frame contains: | outer MAC header, outer IP header, GRE header, original layer 2 frame, and frame checksum (FCS) |

| In Layer 2 service |
| Code Block |

| max MTU 1514
L2 header=14 Bytes
IP header= 20 Bytes
GRE header= 4 Bytes ( or 8Bytes: +4Bytes for options like checksum)
L2 customer packet: 1514- 38 = 1476 bytes
Total= 38 Bytes of L2 overhead
Ratio: 42/1514 = 2.8%
