Can you describe why you think this is? Both Geneve and VXLAN-GPE+NSH are not usable with most implementations of checksum offloads and probably TSO. As we demonstrated in GUE it is possible to offload encapsulated checksums by enabling the other UDP checksum and using the remote checksum offload option (which we also implemented for VXLAN).
