Name and styling

Based on the IETF document, it looks like the actual name of this protocol is "Geneve" (as opposed to "GENEVE"). I also took a look at usage by the document's authors in other works, and they consistently refer to it a "Geneve"

It also looks like "Generic Networking Virtualization Encapsulation", although obviously the source of the name, is only referenced as a description of the protocol rather than its name. (As a comparison, note that there is no article called "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus diving".)

Because of these points, I'm proposing that the article be moved to "Geneve". I thought I'd circulate the idea here on the talk page first, before creating an actual move request.--NapoliRoma (talk) 02:02, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
