Abstract
The present invention describes methods, systems, and data structures to create and search index records within a trace of a packet-based communications link that has been compressed by organizing the data packets according to which flow they belong. Index points are inserted within the compressed flow trace file to create frames and index records are created and saved for each index point. Consequently, searching for a particular data packet does not require sequentially reading the compressed flow trace file, but rather locating the appropriate index record and its corresponding frame in the compressed flow trace file.
