Hi Vivek
The only function of TPKT is to define message boundaries. Annex E has own mechanisms to do this. So basically I think that should be no TPKT header in the Q.931 messages when used with Annex E.

Hello, I wanted to poll the H323 community regarding the use of TPKT header with H225 message while using AnnexE transport capability. AnnexE makes the UDP a reliable signaling channel. H.323 spec talks of using TPKT header with reliable signaling channel.
What is your interpretation of H323/AnnexE regarding the TPKT header? Does the TPKT header have a function in this case?
thanks,
