there is one under development that I find useful it looks a bit
like a NG Sniffer (tm I assume) and can decode a number of packet
formats. not sure what you are looking for.

Ethereal is a network traffic analyzer for Unix and Unix-like operating
systems.  It is based on GTK+, a graphical user interface library,
and libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library.

The official home of Ethereal is

The latest distribution can be found in the subdirectory

Interesting and exotic packet traces can be found at
