What's "npl"?

Although it can
work using in jnetstream but still have some bugs in it. Like in the
very end of the capture file that save using ethereal in netmon(1.x of
2.x) format have some unknown data (4 byte for each frame) that didn't
relate and jnetstream decode it as a invalid data. Anyone know what
that "unknown" data

See the Ethereal code for reading and writing Network Monitor files (wiretap/netmon.c) - it's the "frame table", which contains, for each packet in the file, the offset in the file of the packet's record.
