Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation
Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) is a network encapsulation protocol created by the IETF in order to unify the efforts made by other initiatives like VXLAN and NVGRE,[1] with the intent to eliminate the wild growth of encapsulation protocols.[1][2]
Open vSwitch is an example of a software-based virtual network switch that supports Geneve overlay networks.
