Analysis of wireless experimentation results is a complex task to achieve. As multiple probes are needed in order to get a global view of a wireless experimentation, the resulting packet traces may be very large. In this paper we propose an algorithm that performs trace synchronization and merging in a scalable way. The algorithm output is stored in a configured MYSQL database allowing for smart packets trace storage. This solution reduces processing time by 400 % and storage space by 200 % with regard to raw trace files solutions.
