Hi Dhanajay,

if you have SCTP packets containing M3UA payload inside DATA chunks
they will be dissected automatically if

the SCTP packet comes from or goes to the M3UA well known port number 2905
or
the DATA chunk contains the payload protocol identifier of M3UA, which is 3.

The M3UA version supported is the one described in
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sigtran-m3ua-05.txt
which is the latest version publicaly available.

As soon as version 06 of the draft is published I will update the dissector
to the new version.

You should also make sure that you have at least ethereal version 0.8.15!
This was the first release with M3UA support. Please note there the
packet-m3ua.c
has been updated after the last release.

If you still have problems with the M3UA dissector do not hesitate to
contact me.

Best regards
Michael
