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,cite-ref-rfc8926-1-0[1] with the intent to eliminate the wild growth of encapsulation protocols.cite-ref-rfc8926-1-1[1]cite-ref-sdxcentral-2-0[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.
