TraceCodec: A Compiler-Backed Neural Codec for Network Traffic Traces
TRACECODEC is a compiler-backed neural codec designed to create high-fidelity network traffic traces. It separates learned packet behavior from deterministic protocol consequences by first mapping packets into structured 'packet actions' and then using a deterministic compiler to generate valid PCAPs. This approach overcomes the limitations of raw field decoders, which require post-hoc repairs.
