That's the best way I found to see if GRE is up, just watching for two way
"proto gre" traffic.

Here's how you can match the IP addresses *inside* the GRE packet, which
you probably will want.  Note that 0x0a050505 is hexadecimal for my desired
IP address of 10.5.5.5:

root@os-network:~# tcpdump -i eth1 'proto gre and ( ip[58:4] = 0x0a050505
or ip[62:4] = 0x0a050505 )'
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
16:18:17.434378 IP os-network-d > os-compute-01-d: GREv0, key=0x0, length
110: IP opskzlp119.snops.net > 10.5.5.5: ICMP echo request, id 21321, seq
488, length 64
16:18:17.436190 IP os-compute-01-d > os-network-d: GREv0, key=0x0, length

110: IP opskzlp119.snops.net > 10.5.5.5: ICMP echo request, id 21321, seq
489, length 64
