🌸 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌸

⚠️ Deprecated. Like, officially. It still exists, but it's giving "we've moved on" energy, so don't build your whole personality around it, k? 😭

So this is the VXLAN-GPE protocol header, as defined in draft-ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe-05. It's carrying:

• an 8-bit flag
• an 8-bit next-protocol
• a 24-bit VXLAN Network Identifier
• and some Reserved fields (16 bits and 8 bits)

lowkey a whole little family of fields living in one struct. iconic.
