Hi Scott,

we also have MPLS links in our network. The latest libpcap and
tcpdump from CVS supports filtering of MPLS packets. You can use
"tcpdump mpls and ... <normal header filter>", for instance,
"tcpdump -vvv mpls and ip" will print all IP packets with
MPLS headers.

But I have a problem to get IPv6 packets with this version of
libpcap or tcpdump (I don't know where is the problem), it reports:

# tcpdump -n -vvv mpls and ip6
tcpdump: ip6 not supported

Regards,

Sven Ubik
