To quote my reply to your previous mail asking this:

	Not everybody necessarily knows what "MEF 16" is, and might not know  
what "LMI" is.

	Presumably "MEF" is the Metro Ethernet Forum, and LMI is the Local  
Management Interface, and MEF 16 is

	According to that document, the Ethertype is E-LMI is 88EE; we don't  
have a dissector that handles that Ethertype value.

A shorter version of that answer is "no, it isn't a protocol Wireshark  
knows".
