Yes, that makes sense. Of course linux cooked capture could define
such a type, even though it does not exist as an Ethernet packet type.
That would be useful for me and for any MTP2 interface driver with
Linux capture capability.

Is there any other option to produce a capture file with contains
MTP2, SCTP (and TCP) packets?
