https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nvo3-gue-00 is the starting
point. There are other drafts for extensions (virtualization,
fragmentation, security, etc.). The work of the Encapsulation design
team might also be helpful
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-rtg-dt-encap-01).

Another difficult area in tunneling over UDP is checksum handling,
particularly for using zero UDP checksums with IPv6 (allowed by
RFC6935, RFC6936). The TRILL-in-IP draft doesn't seem to address this,
but this has been a big concern in other tunneling over UDP proposals
(MPLS/UDP, GRE/UDP) since switches don't typically support checksum.
There is an extension to GUE to address this in
draft-herbert-guecsum-00.
