There are implications of different encapsulations in real environments consisting of both software and hardware implementations and spanning multiple data centers. For example, OAM functions such as path MTU discovery become challenging with multiple encapsulations along the data path. The design team recommends Geneve with a few modifications as the common encapsulation. This document provides more details, particularly in Section 7.}, }
