Oh, yes. I was blind.... Driven by the avaliable devices  
and their network communications I assumed, that there is a 
one to one relation between TCP-packet and TP0-packet. 
After rereading RFC 1006 my eyes opened. It is a limitation of the 
 of the devices.

Citing RFC 1006:
"....Each packet, termed a TPKT, is
viewed as an object composed of an integral number of octets, of
variable length."

Ok, TPKT looks fine for me. But after my enlightment expect some
time delay...or is your TPKT-dissector avaliable for public?
