-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

+be enabled explicitly with the "multiproto" flag.

3) Device Usage
bareudp.rst was written before iproute2 gained support for this new type of tunnel. Therefore, the sample command lines didn't match the final iproute2 implementation.
