VXLAN implementation in eBPF. Not because we couldn't but because we could.
VXLAN is usually something you leave to hardware or the kernel’s networking stack, but eBPF lets you bypass all that, cutting out CPU overhead and making it faster.

I'm excited to announce Stratoshark, a sibling application to Wireshark that lets you capture and analyze process activity and log messages in the same way that Wireshark lets you capture and analyze network packets. You can try it out and learn more at stratoshark.org.
