Hi there,
I think Intrushield also support MPLS frame packet in both IDS and IPS mode.

Hi Pierre,
The MPLS tunnel gets terminated at the CE (Customer Entry) router.
If you put an NIDS/NIPS between your network and the CE then you don't need
any MPLS protocol decoder on your NIDS to monitor traffic in the tunnel.
On top you can enable IOS IDS feature set on the CE to be able to monitor
the traffic towards the CE itself.
I'm not an MPLS guru myself but this is the path I would follow unless you
really need to monitor in the MPLS tunnel for some reason.

Subject: MPLS IDS question
Hello List,
I was wondering if anyone has yet had the pleasure of rolling out an IDS to
an MPLS environment?
At this point it looks as if MPLS is one of the networking directions being
used within my work environment, and I was hoping that someone has already
tackled or at least identified any issues that should be considered when
planning IDS deployment to monitor MPLS.
I am not an MPLS expert, so just getting started with understanding what it
is and does/does not provide as far as complexity.
Any insight is appreciated.
