+
+I have been working on GENEVE tunnel implementation for three months and it is now under review.
+GENEVE creates a generic network virtualization tunnel interface for tenant systems over an L3 (IP/UDP) underlay, providing Layer 2 (ethernet) or Layer 3 services using the GENEVE protocol.
+
+Here is what I have done:
+
+* Support for unicast and multicast underlay for both IPv4 and IPv6.
+* Jail support and per-VNET geneve tunnel.
+* RXCSUM/TXCSUM/TSO offload capabilities.
+* Support for inheritence and configuration of ToS, TTL, and DF values.
+* Support for NETLINK/WITHOUT_NETLINK for if_geneve.
+* Updated ifconfig to support tunnel creation and modification using NETLINK for if_geneve.
+* Wrote man page for man:geneve[4] and updated man:ifconfig[8] to include geneve parameters.
+* Wrote tests.
+
+Dependencies and related reviews to support geneve implementation:
+
+* Bug fix on netlink dump assignment link:https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54190[D54190] (done)
+* Bug fix on netlink credential inheritence link:https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54109[54109] (under review)
+* Update ECN tunneling behavior per RFC6040 (required by GENEVE) link:https://reviews.freebsd.org/D53516[53516] (under review)
+
+The review is large because I implemented features that are already available on other platforms before submitting.
+You can help to speed up the process by reviewing and providing feedback on phabricator.
