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.

-There are two ways to create a bareudp device for MPLS & IP with multiproto mode

+The multiproto mode allows bareudp tunnels to handle several protocols of the
