I’ve implemented similar using either udp or serial, using extcap in both cases. You can take a look at udpdump but in my case I wrote it myself using a python extcap on the receiving end.
The idea is, that you put all information (including the timing of your original protocol) into a frame, send this to extcap, which recreates a frame to be displayed using pcap as a format.
See the documentation of extcap in the developer documents
