In some (many, most) cases Extended Bacus Naur Form (EBNF) grammar is used
to describe network protocols.  For example, the HTTP protocol RFC published
on the W3C web site is described in EBNF.  However, the description is ah
descriptive, rather than definitive.  There are parts of the grammar that
are described in english.  It does not appear possible to extract the
grammar from the document and create a parser (perhaps via an EBNF to ANTLR
grammar translator).

  Does anyone know of a repository of complete network protocol grammars
that are actually definitive, rather than descriptive?

  Many thanks,
