Hello, I would like to log HTTP requests from MPLS traffic (one or two labels) Packetbeat does support MPLS? I'm tried both pcap and af-packet modes without success. Regards, Michal ---

MPLS is not supported. Feel free to fill an [enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues). One problem I see with MPLS is with IPv6 support. The MPLS entry/header also overwrites the protocol type in the underlying ethernet header. Without additional out-of band information, matching the labels to a protocol type one has to assume IPv4 always. But given the age and original design considerations of MPLS I guess there are a many more problems when using MPLS with IPv6 networks anyways. ---
