If you are looking at ntpq, it would be nice if there was a simple way to see
the packets sent/received and not much else.

A few of the packets have binary data.  It may be as simple as only assoc IDs
are in binary.  Everything else is raw ascii so it doesn't need any
complicated parsing or reformatting.

We need wire packets rather than logical/assembled packets. This won't show
fragmentation on the wire, but there is a reassembly layer in ntpq and I want
to see the packets below that layer.

I've been considering something like this as well, context of creating tests for the packet handling code.
