The output varies from protocol to protocol. I suggest you start with a filter that captures only the traffic from/to your own box, and only for one protocol. Then play a bit, i.e. if you start with HTTP then browse some pages, if you use MSN then chat a bit...

If you want to write your own sniffer of something, start by looking at some source code.

For MSN, I wrote a small sniffer which is quite easy to understand (in code), you can get it here if you want : http://sourceforge.net/projects/im-snif/

Take a look at it. Nothing fancy but you can learn from it.
