M87 is a low-luminosity gamma-ray emitter. Gamma-ray variability and reprocessed gamma-ray emission provide insight into the gamma-ray emission mechanism, the emitting sites, the structure of the M87 jet. The most recent gamma-ray data are used to reconstruct the emission sites and relativistic beaming corrections, which are put into context with multi-frequency constraints. This allows the derivation of the isotropic gamma-ray luminosity of M87 and an extrapolation to the population of FRI sources in general.
