the location in the source code,an array or anything else?


Your question is pretty open ended.  Look at decode.c.  Actual packet data
from the wire is presented in array form to which is added some decoded
data.  That is retained only for the life of the packet - next packet it is
gone.  Other data, for say, defragmentation or desegmentation, is stored
elsewhere for a longer time.
