Add support of ExtendedMPLS for sflow #327

Open akarneliuk opened 1 month ago

akarneliuk commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. the sflow v5 has implemented extended mpls struct, which contains mpls data. This is not implemented in goflow2 sflow. As such, i cannot properly decode mpls labels

Describe the solution you'd like To add support of mpls extended mpls to sflow part of goflow2 to make this information available upon parsing.

Describe alternatives you've considered There is not much alternative here. I am. Using telegraf, which relies in this library for sflow parsing.

Additional context https://sflow.org/SFLOW-STRUCTS5.txt

Thank you @akarneliuk for the suggestion. This should be possible. GoFlow2 already decodes MPLS so all the fields already exist in the protobuf.

Although: what is the model of your device producing sFlow? Have you tried with regular Ethernet samples? Do you have a packet capture?
