The bpf(4) man page's SEE ALSO section lists this as a reference:
McCanne, S. and Jacobson, V., An efficient, extensible, and
portable network monitor.
That paper is most likely an unpublished draft because it can't be found
online. The only reference I found to it is in a 1992 research report
(http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/Compaq-DEC/WRL-92-2.pdf) which lists it as a
"Work in progress."
I think the authors' 1993 Winter USENIX paper is a more authoritative reference
for this man page:
McCanne, S. and Jacobson, V., "The BSD Packet Filter: A New Architecture
for User-level Packet Capture", 1993 Winter USENIX Conference, January
1993.
The PDF is available here for anyone who's interested:
