NAI Sniffer shows IP proto 224 (0xe0) as "?"
So no clue there.

      IP:       .... ..0. = ECT bit - transport protocol will ignore the CE bit
      IP:       .... ...0 = CE bit - no congestion
      IP: Total length    = 80 bytes
      IP: Identification  = 64689
      IP: Flags           = 0X
      IP:       .0.. .... = may fragment
      IP:       ..0. .... = last fragment
      IP: Fragment offset = 0 bytes
      IP: Time to live    = 128 seconds/hops
      IP: Protocol        = 224 (?)
      IP: Header checksum = 3B45 (correct)
      IP: Source address      = [160.63.224.152]

NAI Sniffer showed them like below. But as you see "Unknown DISL message type; 25 bytes uninterpreted"
