...which is indeed the case. Sorry, I guess I'm too much focused on VXLAN-GPE nowadays and I missed that we're building this before the inner Ethernet header. But the point stands, we have much greater problems here than VXLAN. And I don't think that wrapping all IP address accesses into get/put_unaligned all around the stack is the solution. Jiri
