Abstract

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the identification of control packets in an encapsulation header. In one implementation, a computing system may receive a Geneve packet at a network interface and determine that the Geneve packet includes an Operations and Management (OAM) flag. Once the OAM flag is identified, the computing system can select a processing queue from a plurality of processing queues for a main processing system of the computing system based on the OAM flag and assign the Geneve packet to the processing queue.
