1) Device creation & deletion
- a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847.
+ a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls_uc
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
b) ip link delete bareudp0
-2) Device creation with multiple proto mode enabled
+2) Device creation with multiproto mode enabled
-There are two ways to create a bareudp device for MPLS & IP with multiproto mode
-enabled.
+The multiproto mode allows bareudp tunnels to handle several protocols of the
+same family. It is currently only available for IP and MPLS. This mode has to
+be enabled explicitly with the "multiproto" flag.
- a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847 multiproto
+ a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype ipv4 multiproto
- b) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls
+ For an IPv4 tunnel the multiproto mode allows the tunnel to also handle
+ IPv6.
+
+ b) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls_uc multiproto
+
+ For MPLS, the multiproto mode allows the tunnel to handle both unicast
+ and multicast MPLS packets.
