When comparing with cheQ, packet data is shown non-hierarchically. This allows you to see matches at a glance and to include or exclude any fields from comparison with a click.

Field values (such as IP addresses) will often vary across traces, especially when traces are captured on different hardware or in clustered systems. The powerful name mappings system allows you to map field values to names. Although two fields may be different, cheQ can tell that they refer to the same entity and therefore match.
