Well, that was fun.  I looked at some obvious standards, and didn't find
8881 in any of them.

Then I Googled for

        gre 0x8881 type

and found:

        http://www.hitachi-system.co.jp/sniffer/product/mobile/mobile_info.html

which seems to imply that 0x8881 is an alternative type code for
PPP-over-GRE (it's in Japanese, except for the occasional bit of
English, and I can't read any words in Japanese other than "Nihon") -
*AND* found

        http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/C.S0047-0_v1.0_110403.pdf

"Link-Layer Assisted Service Options for Voice-over-IP: Header Removal
(SO60) and Robust Header Compression (SO61)" which says

        If GRE encapsulation is used to transport the PDUs to and from
        the PCF (see also [12]), the PDU shall be placed in the payload
        field of the GRE packet.  The GRE payload will then consist of
        one of the PDUs defined in Section 2.5.3.  In addition, the
        protocol type field in the GRE shall be set to hex value 0x8881;
        endpoints will know the format of the payload based on the
        connected service option number.  Also note that there are no
        specific requirements on the use of the GRE Sequence Number if
        GRE encapsulation is used.

but which doesn't mention PPP anywhere.
