Disclosed is a system for processing data streams that includes a parallel processor and a netflow aggregator module to generate a storage representation for data packets. Each storage representation includes segments of information about the data packet, the segments of information including information about a communication protocol specification related to the data packet. The netflow aggregator module generates a composite index to identify a data packet association characteristic for each data packet and stores the composite index in a segment of the storage representation. The netflow aggregator module groups data packets by their composite index. The netflow aggregator module generates a session flow identifier by identifying a beginning and/or end of a transmission netflow for each data packet having the same data packet association characteristic. The netflow aggregator module aggregates and orders the data packets having the same session flow identifiers into a flow channel.
