Do you have any packet traces, captured with any of the packet capture
programs whose capture files Ethereal can read, with TALI traffic in
them? We'd need that in order to test any dissector we wrote for it.
(Note that "packet trace" means "binary trace file", not "textual
dissection of a trace".)
In addition the IETF draft doesn't appear to indicate whether TALI has a
reserved TCP or UDP port number, or if TALI traffic can go from any port
number to any port number.
