Well, Ethereal *thinks* that these packets are DCE/RPC packets. That might or might not be true.

For some protcols, there's no real good indicator if it's a packet of a specific kind, so Ethereal has to do some guesswork (heuristics) which protocol it could be. While this is usually working pretty well, there are times when it just miss the reality.

If you know which packets should be on the line, try to temporarily disable the DCE/RPC dissector "Enabled Protocols" and see what Ethereal now has to say.

Sorry, not a routing man. Won't be much helpful in this topic.

May I ask you why you are doing this?
