This feature introduces hardware forwarding support for IPv4-over-IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces on selected Arista Switches. The GRE tunnel interface acts as a logical interface which performs the GRE encapsulation or decapsulation.

Segment Routing Traffic Engineering Policy (SR-TE) aka SR Policy makes use of Segment Routing (SR) to allow a headend to steer traffic along any path without maintaining per flow state in every node. A headend steers traffic into an “SR Policy”. EOS 4.21.0F adds support for SR Policy for the MPLS dataplane (SR-MPLS) for Type-1 SR Policy segments with BGP and locally configured policies as sources of SR Policies on Arista’s 7500, 7280 families of switches.
