That's good info. This was captured on Sigtech RF Docsis sniffer (not on Ethernet) which can output to a .pcap file format but I'm not aware of any way to set this device to record the encapsulation type.

Ages ago, I e-mailed somebody there, telling them how to use the DLT_DOCSIS link-layer type value when it was first introduced. I never got any reply. That part of Sigtech ended up as part of Daqtron:

and I don't know whether their current product (260C) still

1) includes Ethereal/Wireshark (I seem to remember that it ran Windows 98, so it doesn't include any up-to-date version of Wireshark)

or

	2) doesn't know about DLT_DOCSIS.

(I also told them that they could just make Wireshark read their native capture file format - which, as I remember, they published, at the time - but, again, I got no reply.)
