GSE provides additional features beyond the pure carriage of IP datagrams that increase the protocol flexibility and applicability. Some key GSE functions/characteristics are:

* Support for multi-protocol encapsulation ([[IPv4]], [[IPv6]], [[MPEG]], [[Asynchronous Transfer Mode|ATM]], [[Ethernet]], [[IEEE 802.1Q|802.1pQ]] [[VLAN]]s, etc.)

* Transparency to network layer functions, including [[Internet Protocol|IP]] [[encryption]] and IP [[Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression|header compression]].

* Support of several addressing modes. In addition to the 6-byte [[MAC address]] (including [[multicast]] and [[unicast]]), it supports a MAC address-less mode, and an optional 3-byte address mode.

* A mechanism for fragmenting [[Internet Protocol|IP]] [[datagrams]] or other [[network layer]] [[Packet (information technology)|packets]] over [[baseband|Base Band]] frames to support [[Link adaptation|ACM]]/[[Variable Coding and Modulation|VCM]].
