Currently, DPDK supports VXLAN and VXLAN-GPE with similar header
structures and we are working on adding support for VXLAN-GBP which is
another extension to VXLAN. More extension of VXLAN may be added in the
future.
VXLAN and VXLAN-GBP use the same UDP port(4789) while VXLAN-GPE uses a
different one, 4790. The three protocols have the same header length and
overall similar header structure as below.

Figure 3: VXLAN-GBP Extension
Both VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP extended VXLAN by redefining its reserved
bits, which means the packets can be processed with same pattern and most
of the code can be reused. Instead of adding more new items by
copying/pasting code for the VXLAN extensions in the future, it’s better
to use existing VXLAN infrastructure and add support code in it.
In this patch, all the VXLAN extension header will be merged with VXLAN as
union if the overlapped field has different format among protocols. The
existing VXLAN-GPE will be marked as deprecated and new extensions of
VXLAN should be added to VXLAN instead of a new RTE item.

After unification of VXLAN and all its extension protocols(VXLAN-GPE and
VXLAN-GBP currently), all related RTE items should be spicified after
'vxlan'. And it's user's responsibility to specify correct UDP port for
the protocol to be matched.
Below are the examples to match standard VXLAN, VXLAN-GPE and VXLAN-GBP.
To match standard vxlan,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GBP group policy ID 4321,
... / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan group_policy_id is 4321 ... / ...
To match VXLAN-GPE,
... / udp dst is 4790 / vxlan protocol is 2 ... / ...
