A method and system for a digital home network trace and debug tool is described. The system includes a network filter driver to capture packets from a network, a network sniffer manager to manage the network filter driver, a state engine to manage states of the received packets, a packet parser to determine a transport protocol type and a format type for a received packet, one or more packet type parsers to parse the received packets according to the determined format type, and a GUI to display information associated with the received packets. The method includes receiving a packet at a network device, determining whether a source IP address matches a device IP address in a GUI, determining whether a destination IP address matches a device IP address in the GUI, and determining a transport protocol type, and parsing the packet according to the determined transport protocol type. Network packets may be linked or split up as necessary to make logical protocol specific commands. The protocols may also be validated against digital home industry standards.
