Hi Balint,
Thanks for committing my patch!

On small note: following existing practice is a good thing, but I would left my
patch as it is. The reason is simple: 

BR> Other dissectors, like Internal TDM over MPLS just leave the data
BR> undissected, and by doing so they provide valuable information, 
BR> i.e. the dissection did not cover all bytes in the packet.

Actually, I believe that SAToP and CESoPSN dissectors cover all bytes in the
packet. 

Further dissection of SATOP/CESOPSN payload is only _theoretically_ possible.
This requires radical changes of design of these dissectors towards
complication. At least, reassembly of TDM data stream should be implemented
together with dissection of MPLS PW Associated Channel. 

Current dissectors do all possible job, and represent TDM payload in the form
which is more readable than "data" dissector provides. This is convenient for
me, at least; and I prefer to avoid tshark if wireshark can do the same job ;).

But, anyway, thanks for committing and decision is up to you of course ;)

regards, artem//
