+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B mpls
+action performs mpls encapsulation or decapsulation on a packet, reflected by the
+operation modes
+.IR POP ", " PUSH ", " MODIFY " and " DEC_TTL .
+The
+.I POP
+mode requires the ethertype of the header that follows the MPLS header (e.g.
+IPv4 or another MPLS). It will remove the outer MPLS header and replace the
+ethertype in the MAC header with that passed. The
+.IR PUSH " and " MODIFY
+modes update the current MPLS header information or add a new header.
+.IR PUSH
+requires at least an
+.IR MPLS_LABEL ". "
+.I DEC_TTL
+requires no arguments and simply subtracts 1 from the MPLS header TTL field.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B pop
+Decapsulation mode. Requires the protocol of the next header.
+.TP
+.B push
+Encapsulation mode. Adds the MPLS header between the MAC and the network
+headers. Requires at least the
+.B label
+option.
+.TP
+.B mac_push
+Encapsulation mode. Adds the MPLS header before the MAC header. Requires at
+least the
+.B label
+option.
+.TP
+.B modify
+Replace mode. Existing MPLS tag is replaced.
+.BR label ", "
+.BR tc ", "
+and
+.B ttl
+are all optional.
+.TP
+.B dec_ttl
+Decrement the TTL field on the outer most MPLS header.
+.TP
+.BI label " MPLS_LABEL"
+Specify the MPLS LABEL for the outer MPLS header.
+.I MPLS_LABEL
+is an unsigned 20bit integer, the format is detected automatically (e.g. prefix
+with
+.RB ' 0x '
+for hexadecimal interpretation, etc.).
+.TP
+.BI protocol " MPLS_PROTO"
+Choose the protocol to use. For push actions this must be
+.BR mpls_uc " or " mpls_mc " (" mpls_uc
+is the default). For pop actions it should be the protocol of the next header.
+This option cannot be used with modify.
+.TP
+.BI tc " MPLS_TC"
+Choose the TC value for the outer MPLS header. Decimal number in range of 0-7.
+Defaults to 0.
+.TP
+.BI ttl " MPLS_TTL"
+Choose the TTL value for the outer MPLS header. Number in range of 0-255. A
+non-zero default value will be selected if this is not explicitly set.
+.TP
+.BI bos " MPLS_BOS"
+Manually configure the bottom of stack bit for an MPLS header push. The default
+is for TC to automatically set (or unset) the bit based on the next header of
+the packet.
+.TP
+.I CONTROL
+How to continue after executing this action.
+.RS
+.TP
+.B reclassify
+Restarts classification by jumping back to the first filter attached to this
+action's parent.
+.TP
+.B pipe
+Continue with the next action, this is the default.
+.TP
+.B drop
+Packet will be dropped without running further actions.
+.TP
+.B continue
+Continue classification with next filter in line.
+.TP
+.B pass
+Return to calling qdisc for packet processing. This ends the classification
+process.
+.RE
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The following example encapsulates incoming IP packets on eth0 into MPLS with
+a label 123 and sends them out eth1:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: flower \\
+ action mpls push protocol mpls_uc label 123 \\
+ action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
+.EE
+.RE
+
+In this example, incoming MPLS unicast packets on eth0 are decapsulated
+and redirected to eth1:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 protocol mpls_uc parent ffff: flower \\
+ action mpls pop protocol ipv4 \\
+ action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
+.EE
+.RE
+
+Here is another example, where incoming Ethernet frames are encapsulated into
+MPLS with label 123 and TTL 64. Then, an outer Ethernet header is added and the
+resulting frame is finally sent on eth1:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 ingress matchall \\
+ action mpls mac_push label 123 ttl 64 \\
+ action vlan push_eth \\
+ dst_mac 02:00:00:00:00:02 \\
+ src_mac 02:00:00:00:00:01 \\
+ action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
+.EE
+.RE
+
+The following example assumes that incoming MPLS packets with label 123
+transport Ethernet frames. The outer Ethernet and the MPLS headers are
+stripped, then the inner Ethernet frame is sent on eth1:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 ingress protocol mpls_uc \\
+ flower mpls_label 123 mpls_bos 1 \\
+ action vlan pop_eth \\
+ action mpls pop protocol teb \\
+ action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
