pstream.pipe(estream).on('readable', function() {
  var msg = estream.read();
  msg.ether.src === '12:34:56:65:43:21';  // ether frame available as .ether
  msg.ether.dst === '98:76:54:32:10:01';
  msg.ether.type === 'ip';
  var iph = new IpHeader(msg.data);       // extract payload available at .data
});
estream.read(0);
