GRE-MPLS and MPLSoUDP packets inside the NGE domain

NGE router interface encryption is never applied to GRE-MPLS or MPLSoUDP packets, for example:

GRE-MPLS and MPLSoUDP packets that enter the NGE domain or transit the NGE domain are forwarded as is.

Because these GRE-MPLS and MPLSoUDP packets provide transport for MPLS-based services, they already use the NGE services-based encryption techniques for MPLS, such as SDP or VPRN-based encryption. To avoid double encryption, the packets are left in clear text when entering an NGE domain or crossing intermediate nodes in the NGE domain, and are forwarded as needed when exiting an NGE domain.
