Logging

Currently, only the encapsulated part of the packet is logged, e.g. 

Eth IP1 GRE IP2 TCP Payload

gets logged as 

Eth IP2 TCP Payload

and 

Eth IP1 IP2 TCP Payload

gets logged as 

Eth IP2 TCP Payload

Note:   Decoding of PPTP, which utilizes GRE and PPP, is not currently supported on architectures that require word alignment such as SPARC.
