If you're doing this for practical reasons, and not just for fun, then you should take a look at Microsoft Network Monitor. The home page talks about the version 3.3 beta, but you can download version 3.2 from the Downloads page. There is also an SDK for NM, and the ability to write parsers for your own network protocols.
