Hello,
    Is there any debug message framework in place for tracking a
network packet as it passes through different kernel stack layers
(layer 3, layer 2, bridge devices, drivers etc)?

Hi Erik,
   Are you referring to something like this?

iptables -A LOGGING -j LOG

Ex. log all L2 packets (raw/prerouting)
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -j LOG

I refer to this a lot (not sure if it's 100% accurate anymore though)
