Ethereal *partially* supports it, but only if you're doing MTP3-over-{M2PA,M2UA,M2TP}-over-SCTP, not if you're doing MTP3 over something else.

What I want to do is to feed ethereal such messages,
is this doable? I think it should be, most of the stuff is there.
I gueass I have to write down some header for the pcap
format that includes this somehow (??),

There isn't a pcap format that includes it, so that won't work unless a new pcap format is added.

What's the complete protocol stack, down to the link layer?
