I am not familiar with draft-ietf-nvo3-geneve details, but I see nothing
particularly crazy on the surface of that draft: Squid is already
capable of tunneling intercepted TLS and forwarded HTTP CONNECT traffic
while GENEVE seems like one more way to tell Squid about the desired
tunnel end points.

Perhaps some form of GENEVE support is already possible via some kind of
3rd-party wrappers? FWIW, the possible existence of such protocol
wrappers was the primary reason I did not give a straight "no" answer to
your original question...


You may file a feature request on Squid Bugzilla, keeping the following
FAQ in mind:

HTH,

Alex.
