+========================================
+Bare UDP Tunnelling Module Documentation
+========================================
+
+There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to
+leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks.
+MPLSoUDP (__ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them.
+
+The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation tunnelling
+support for tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside
+a UDP tunnel.
+
+Usage
+------
+
+1) Device creation & deletion
+
+    a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847.
+
+       This creates a bareudp tunnel device which tunnels L3 traffic with ethertype
+       0x8847 (MPLS traffic). The destination port of the UDP header will be set to
+       6635.The device will listen on UDP port 6635 to receive traffic.
+
+    b) ip link delete bareudp0
