For labelled traffic it should be:
label 1-5 (by default)
MPLS Payload (L3-header for L3VPN packets or L2-header for L2VPN/PW packets)

And the LU chip should receive 320B chunk so there should be enough space to base the hash on 5Labels,CW,DMAC,SMAC,2VLANs,DIP,SIP,DPort,SPort but I don’t know if it’s implemented like this –it needs to be tested and documented.
