Interestingly there is work going on in this area at the IETF 106 Hackathon - https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/106hackathon/formal-languages

Specifically, from [draft-macquistin-augmented-asciidiagrams-01 ](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mcquistin-augmented-ascii-diagrams-01)

```
   This document describes a machine-readable format for specifying the
   syntax of protocol data units within a protocol specification.  This
   format is comprised of a consistently formatted packet header
   diagram, followed by structured explanatory text.  It is designed to
   maintain human readability while enabling support for automated
   parser generation from the specification document.  This document is
   itself an example of how the format can be used.
```
