Wait a second. How is this true? Does not everyone stick the
inner header hash in the outer source port to solve this?
For example geneve spec says:

   it is necessary for entropy from encapsulated packets to be
   exposed in the tunnel header.  The most common technique for this is
   to use the UDP source port

same goes for vxlan did not check further.

so what is the problem?  and which tunnel types actually suffer from the
problem?
