 support for tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside
 a UDP tunnel.
 
+Special Handling
+----------------
+The bareudp device supports special handling for MPLS & IP as they can have
+multiple ethertypes.
+MPLS procotcol can have ethertypes ETH_P_MPLS_UC  (unicast) & ETH_P_MPLS_MC (multicast).
+IP protocol can have ethertypes ETH_P_IP (v4) & ETH_P_IPV6 (v6).
+This special handling can be enabled only for ethertypes ETH_P_IP & ETH_P_MPLS_UC
+with a flag called multiproto mode.

+2) Device creation with multiple proto mode enabled
+
+There are two ways to create a bareudp device for MPLS & IP with multiproto mode
+enabled.
+
+    a) ip link add dev  bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847 multiproto

+    b) ip link add dev  bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls
+
+3) Device Usage
 
 The bareudp device could be used along with OVS or flower filter in TC.
 The OVS or TC flower layer must set the tunnel information in SKB dst field before
