I've used Nom to parse a couple RFC-based protocols now, and I'm amazed at how easy and performant the result ends up being.

There's a great walk-through of using it here, including fuzzing your parsers to make sure they're solid. https://github.com/Geal/langsec-2017-hackathon-code

Geal is very helpful too, he pops up around the place in the Rust community and is responsive on the nom Gitter channel.
