GenericRoutingEncapsulation
<networking, protocol> (GRE) A protocol which allows an
arbitrary network protocol A to be transmitted over any other
arbitrary network protocol B, by encapsulating the packets
of A within GRE packets, which in turn are contained within
packets of B.
Defined in RFC 1701 and RFC 1702 (GRE over IP).

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, with the intent to eliminate the wild growth of encapsulation protocols.
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links or point-to-multipoint links over an Internet Protocol network.
