Description

Stacking many layers of IPv4 in IPv4, IPv6 over IPv4, etc results in severe performance degradation, possibly other problems.

Some of these layers will get their own flow tracking, so a single packet might create many flows, each leading to locking overhead, timeout handling, eve.flow records, etc.
