Is there a "smart" UDP protocol analyzer that can help me reverse engineer a message based protocol?

I'm using Wireshark to do the sniffing, but if there's a tool that can detect regularities in the protocol (repeated strings, bits of the protocol that are CRC/Checksum or length, ...) and aid the process that would help.
