When Stenographer records traffic, it appears to strip the outermost VLAN tag. I don't know if I would consider this a bug, but I definitely wasn't expecting this. I am aware of several environments that use QinQ tagging to signal which taps traffic is coming from and it would be convenient to make this a configurable setting.

I am assuming this is due to Stenographer using AF_PACKET. The VLAN tags are stripped at a lower layer and, unfortunately with my work on a few other things using AF_PACKET, it isn’t trivial to put them back together. It is possible, but with a decent performance impact as they have to be, per packet, re-applied. It is, perhaps, possible and may make sense to maintain a small state-store that could be built overtime and thus the performance penalties would smooth over the running time of stenographer.

Is there any way to avoid this issue?

Maybe it could help disabling the NIC's VLAN offloading so the VLAN tags make it into AF_PACKET?

sudo ethtool -K <interface> rxvlan off
