I would say this is a rather impossible question.
Your configuration is a relevant factor.
As is the actual packet data.

With neither of them available it is impossible to answer.

But in general disable not relevant protocols in the profile you use. I use 
various profiles where I disable not relevant protocols for the tasks at hand.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] MPLS over UDP decoding

Hi,

In a packet capture of sFlow export packets, I noticed some sFlow samples were 
decoded as MPLS over UDP. The sFlow sampled packet was actually just a UDP 
VoIP packet with no dissector support.

What logic does Wireshark use to opportunistically consider UDP payload to be 
MPLS? Thanks.

Flow sample
Raw Packet header
  * Ethernet
  * IP
  * UDP
  * MPLS label x 6
  *

  * eth (data looks wrong because it is not an actual Ethernet header)
  * data (unable to decode)
