bytefield
package.
Summary description: Create illustrations for network protocol specifications. License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations for network protocol specifications and anything else that utilizes fields of data. These illustrations show how the bits and bytes are laid out in a packet, register, or memory.
Version 2.1 of bytefield includes code due to Renaud Pacalet for continuing the bit numbering when a word is typeset split across lines; it gives \ an optional length argument just like in a tabular; and it makes bit endianness a full-fledged bytefield option that can be specified once per document rather than requiring that it be specified in each individual bytefield environment (although that too is allowed). ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the upload.
