I am wondering if this is just a theoretical problem, or does it occur in real life. My simple tests are not causing ICMP to be delivered to UDP application (over the VXLAN) but it maybe because of the compare scoring in ICMP, or because of use of multicast versus unicast destinations.
Perhaps modify the routing of received ICMP error messages so that ones referring to the VXLAN destination port get routed to VXLAN rather than the socket bound to the source port (this could be made generic). Some one seems to have invented a protocol that abuses the normal port number rules. David
