Given that the downstream encryption mechanisms are different for 1G and 10G, and given that the sniffing hardware 
presumably knows whether it's sniffing 1G or 10G, I'd vote for LINKTYPE_EPON_1G and LINKTYPE_EPON_10G, with the 
differences being in the parsing of the octet in question and in the decryption of downstream traffic if the program 
reading the file supports that.
