I like to use this module (I wrote while in the employ of UCI, so it's under
a UCI - BSDesque - license, but they've given redistribution permission so
long as the module is under their license) to extract pieces from a data
source with varied field lengths:

I use it often with TCP.  For UDP, I'd probably catentate the blocks
recieved and then pull data back out of the aggregate using bufsock - to
deal with the possibility of fragmentation or aggregation in transit.
