Russell, Thanks for your valuable information. I understood Geneve is some kind of tunnel format for network virtualization encapsulation, just like VxLAN. But I'm still confused by the connection between Geneve and VTEP. I suppose VTEP should be on behalf of "VxLAN Tunnel Endpoint", which should be used for VxLAN only.
Does it become some "common tunnel endpoint" in OVN, and can be also used as a tunnel endpoint for Geneve?

VTEP gateways or provider networks come into play when you want to connect these overlay networks to physical, or "underlay" networks.
