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.
MPLSoUDP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them.
The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation 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).
The MPLS protocol 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.

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
sending packet buffer to the bareudp device for transmission. On reception the
