I would like to know if I there is a utility to take a UDP packet which
has specific information in the payload and extract the information
from the packet and place it in the Postgres data base?

Which OS (in Linux ulogd and/or tcpdump spring to mind), do
you need it captured real-time or would batch-processing on
the full-hour or end of day suit you just fine?

Cheers,

ethereal (packet sniffer) is multiplatform and scriptable, and afaict
is pretty much the best free option out there.

I am using redhat and RTOS.

The packets with be coming in on a 1 GBPS port and the information is
streaming UDP packets coming in.

I need it real time.

With RH ulogd should be possible; RTOS I don't know at all.
And it will need a grunty machine if you're looking at lots of
traffic :}
