Abstract:
   Existing technologies to encapsulate Multi-Protocol Label Switching

   (MPLS) over IP are not adequate for efficient load balancing of MPLS

   application traffic, such as MPLS-based Layer2 Virtual Private

   Network (L2VPN) or Layer3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN) traffic

   across IP networks. This document specifies additional IP-based

   encapsulation technology, referred to as MPLS-in-User Datagram

   Protocol (UDP), which can facilitate the load balancing of MPLS

   application traffic across IP networks.
