Hi Sergio, 

You can use the comparision table on the next link for a better reference of the Cisco products.

The recommended models for a small office are 800 series or 1900 series, both supports virtual interfaces for GRE and multicast configuration.

Hope it helps

Dear Ganesh and rvarelac, thank you for replying:

I checked the link and when a model says that support VPN, means support for GRE, tunnel interfaces and IPSEC,is this correct?

That's correct Sergio, those routers supports multiples types of VPNs ( S2S, VTI, DMVPN , ezvpn...) many of them use a tunnel interface for their functions, then yes they do support GRE, tunnel interfaces an IPSec as well.

Does ISR 4000 series supports GRE tunnels ? Also where can I find the maximum number of tunnles that can be created in a particular router model  ?
