What is Geneve?

Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a tunneling protocol designed to be flexible and adaptable to evolving network virtualization requirements. It allows for the encapsulation of network packets within UDP, adding a header that carries metadata used to enhance the functionality and capabilities of overlay networks. Common uses include connecting virtual machines across different physical networks, creating software-defined networks (SDNs), and enabling network functions virtualization (NFV).
