Hmmm, thanks for that. Yes that's correct. I was going to pretend that someone
with may want to read SONET/SDH from a pcap file, so when I started
implementing the dissector I didn't want to utilise anything ERF specific. I'm
doubtful as to ever finding a pcap file with SONET traffic though so I'll
probably include your proposed change in the next patch anyway.
