In our project we are sending PPP LCP as the payload of UDP. And we are using ethereal to analyze the packets. But ethereal is unable to decode PPP as the UDP payload.

Ethereal is unaware that one can send PPP LCP atop UDP.  (So was I.)

Is there a standard port number for LCP-over-UDP? (And is this LCP-over-UDP, with the payload not including a PPP header, or is it PPP-over-UDP, with a PPP header?)
