Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation

Last updated

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.
