Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) is a flexible
and extensible network virtualization overlay protocol designed to
encapsulate network packets for transport across underlying physical
networks. This document specifies the requirements and provides a
framework for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) in
Geneve networks. It outlines the OAM functions necessary to monitor,
diagnose, and troubleshoot Geneve overlay networks to ensure proper
operation and performance. The document aims to guide the
implementation of OAM mechanisms within the Geneve protocol to
support network operators in maintaining reliable and efficient
virtualized network environments.
This document is a product of the Network Virtualization Overlays Working Group
of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
