Can "ethereal" capture and analyse LDP (Loader Debugger Protocol)?
If you mean the protocol specified by RFC 909, the answer is that it can capture them (it can capture *any* protocol that can ultimately run atop the link layers, such as Ethernet, from which it can capture), but it can't analyze them - nobody's written an LDP dissector for it. (Well, somebody has written an LDP dissector, but it's for the Label Distribution Protocol (RFC 3036).)
