No, the ERF type 5 record has a different header than the PCAP header, but
MTP2 part is not affected.
In fact, the MTP2 (FCS) is not specific to the ERF format, I would say,
MTP2 (FCS) is the standart MTP2, but the checksums are present in the 2
last bytes of the frame.

I could use a new DLT, but this would be to show the additional
informations given in the ERF type 5 header (like a kind of timeslot
information, etc)

Best regards
Florent

Does this file format include the MTP2 FCS?  If so, as per my previous
email about the MTP2 patch, (at least) a new WTAP_ENCAP is needed to
distinguish between MTP2 with and without the FCS.
