The particularity of this dump is that it's taken using the "Network Tunnel
Traffic and Unencrypted IPSE" profile of Microsoft Message Analyzer. From my
understanding, it's a dumping scenario where the packets are the ones
circulating in tunneled networks like PPP and or VPN links and that are
effectively filtered by the firewall (inbound/outbound), so they are
unencrypted. I guess in the *.cap file all these IP packets are encapsulated in
"virtual" link-layer frames.

I'm not sure this information is sufficient. If you give me an hint I can try
to formulate a request to Microsoft Message Analyzer devs (which is new and
under heavy develompent).

Ok, clear.
