This idea sound great, Did you propose any draft?

Regards.

draft-xiang-nvo3-geneve-packet-spray-00 handles putting a Layer 4 protocol (TCP 
or UDP) on top of Geneve by assigning new Ethertypes (0x9004/9005).  A more 
elegant way is what I proposed last July:  Due to the different types of 
Ethernet, Ethertypes are restricted to 0x0600 and higher; the values 00 through 
05 can't appear as the first byte.
(Though there actually are IEEE assignments in that range, there are none with 
a high byte of 00.)  We can therefore modify the definition of the "Protocol 
Type" field in the Geneve header such that if the first byte is 00, then the 
second byte is the IP "protocol" value for the contained packet.  That covers 
TCP, UDP, and all Layer 4 protocols carried inside of IPv4/IPv6.
