GTP-U support for a UE with multiple bearers (LTE)

Hi,
I just started exploring the GTP-U module (maintained in the kernel) for LTE.
In LTE, a UE can be associated with multiple bearers.
This implies that an MS IP address can be associated with multiple TEIDs (one for each bearer).
Based on browsing the kernel GTP implementation[1], it looks like the GTP-U (maintained in the kernel) can only support 1 TEID per MS IP address. In which case, the GTP implementation, as is, may NOT be usable by LTE modules.
Is this a correct interpretation?
