Souds like https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3378 :-)

It would be nice to have an example file in the capture menagerie, If you can reply with a little capture file without any sensitive information in it, that would be nice :-)

Cheers,
Sake

That's followed by a VLAN header with a priority code point, drop eligible indicator, VLAN ID, and type field.
