+	  MultiProtocol Label Switching routes packets through logical
+	  circuits.  Originally conceved as a way of routing packets at
+	  hardware speeds (before hardware was capable of routing ipv4 packets),
+	  MPLS remains as simple way of making tunnels.

 	 This is helper module to allow segmentation of non-MPLS GSO packets
 	 that have had MPLS stack entries pushed onto them and thus
