thank you for the response Kevin and Bakul,
but neither tcptrace nor ethereal/wireshark is what I'm looking for. As
I said, the application I was using was drawing single IP packet header
similar to what is presented in RFC791 -
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|Version| IHL |Type of Service| Total Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Identification |Flags| Fragment Offset |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Time to Live | Protocol | Header Checksum |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Source Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Destination Address |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Options | Padding |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
But a) graphically with colors, b) with actual packet/header data from
the captured IP packet.
Actual result looked similar to this picture -

Hello FreeBSD-Net,
does anybody remember, around year 2004, there was a software
application available (either as port, or package). Unfortunately
I do not recall the application name and I'm not able to find it
again, although I've reviewed the Ports collection from year 2005
which I have on 3 DVDs. I do not remember if the application
captured data from the network interface by itself, or used
tcpdump output, that actually doesn't matter. What matters is that
this app draw a picture of the selected IP packet's header,
similar to the one in RFC791 at page 11, chapter "3.1. Internet
Header Format". The picture drawn was minimalistic and in colors
(green, yellow), and it showed the field values from the actual
capture. I've ran it under TWM, and it looked close to that one,
but showing captured values instead of (or along with) field names -
Appreciate if anybody remembers that application by a chance and
could tell its name.
thank you

tcptrace? I have not used it since I retired, but I think it was
similar to what you are looking for. Its output is just text. It used
an external tool to implement the plots, xplot. xplot died back on
gcc-3.3 and I have no idea what its current status is, but I fear it's
abandoned, xpolt.org <http://xpolt.org> still is alive, though.
