Explanation:
A PPTP tunnel is instantiated by communication to the peer on TCP port 1723. This TCP
connection is then used to initiate and manage a second GRE tunnel to the same peer. The PPTP
GRE packet format is non-standard, including an additional acknowledgement field replacing the
typical routing field in the GRE header. However, as in a normal GRE connection, those modified
GRE packets are directly encapsulated into IP packets, and seen as IP protocol number 47.
