Hello,

What I meant was to store the captured packets in the blocks of fixed size 
(possibly wasting some of the storage space in case of small packets, but 
gaining in case one wishes to do random access). So to access packet $n$ I 
would have to look at the offset = header + n*block_size.

Cheers,
