Ronnie,

Thanks for the reply -- but I don't think that the trunk group is in a clear token.

When I open the file in ethereal 0.9.11 with the h323 plugin, this information appears to just be ignored.  (It as at the end of the packet).  
With 0.9.15 it actually does seem to decode part of it, but the name is displayed wrong, and the packet is reported as a malformed packet.  As a result, the type of h225 message is not displayed in the top ethereal window.  I included a decode of the information below for an ARQ.  For this case, the Calls_Available_group should be "ITXC", and the GroupID should also be "ITXC".  

Could you possible take another look?  If ethereal could decode the information that would be great - if not it would be nice if it was ignored, so that the type of h225 packet is displayed in the top window and the packet is not displayed as a malformed packet.

Thanks,

Mike Oliveras

No one has yet written a H.235 dissector for Ethereal.
Ethereal will not be able to dissect the ClearToken and friends in those
packets until someone
writes a dissector for H.235.

You example capture I am sure will be very helpful for whomever starts
implementing H.235.

trunk group also is sent in the ACF/LCF and the H225 setup.  I also attached
a "debug h225 asn1" debug from a cisco gatekeeper which shows the ASN1
decode.
