using compiled machine code, to the maximum extent possible. :-)

I.e., I'd recommend not writing your own code to do it, but instead 

to use an existing app, such as Wireshark, and, if Wireshark doesn't 

do everything you need, adding code to Wireshark and contributing that 

code for other users. The work Wireshark does to dissect VoIP traffic is 

sufficiently complicated that choosing a language other than C probably 

won'thelp as much as you might like - especially given that, if you start 

from scratch writing a sniffer for VoIP, you'll have to duplicate all the 

stuff that Wireshark already does.)
