Actually, what the dissector cares about is whether it's "over IP" - which currently means "over TPKT *OR* SCTP with a PPI of 13" - not whether there's a TPKT header.

I.e., this is Q.931 traffic that's *not* Q.931-over-TPKT traffic, or Q.931-over-SCTP-PPI-13 traffic, but, in the Q.931 traffic, there are user-user IEs that contain H.225 traffic?

If so, what is the Q.931 traffic being transported on top of, if not TPKT or SCTP?
