Well, could you be more exact, please, about what did you mean by saying 
'strange' ?
Probably, my english isn't that good, I just tried to say that I use 
ipsec to encrypt my gre tunnels.

Could this out-of-the-sequence thing be caused by traffic shaping, such 
as pf ALTQing ?
I just realised that this is the only link I have which has the queueing 
enabled.

Thanks.
Eugene.
