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.

It is also supported by AWS Gateway Load Balancers.
