[j-nsp] monitor traffic on gre inerface

[Nilesh Khambal]

That's normal. When RE sends ospf packet over GRE, it constructs the full packet including the GRE header. So it directly put the packet on the physical interface for transmission. Hence you don't see it in  tcpdump output on GRE interface since outgoing interface is set to the physical interface for the packet.

In the incoming direction, PFE hands off the decapsulated packet to the RE kernel with GRE as Incoming interface. Hence you see the packet in tcpdump on GRE interface.

You will see the similar behavior with aggregate interfaces.  

Thanks,
Nilesh
